Posted on | In |

1). Repository tutor_react

2). Repository student_react

Target: Pull down the code from Repository tutor_react and put the code into our local folder student_react

  • 1) git clone git@github.com:ZhangSan/tutor_react.git student_react
  • 2) git will clone this project into this local folder student_react
  • 3) cd student_clone this is going to this local folder
  • 4) If we type the git remote in the terminal, you will see a origin here, but this origin is the name of tutor_react repo. You can’t push any code to the tutor’s repo since you don’t have the authorization to write in other’s repository. So, at this time, you need to remove the origin which is now point to tutor_react repository.
  • 5) git remote remove origin this command will remove the name origin that point to the tutor_react repository.
  • 6) Now you need to let the name origin points to your own repository.
  • 7) git remote add origin git@github.com:Yueran-Yu/student_react.git Now the origin will point to your student_react repository in github.
  • 8) Important!!! After you pull down the code from others, you should run yarn install so that will download all of the packages related to your project.
