First off, forgive me if this is a duplicate question. I don’t know anything but the basic terminology, and it’s difficult to find an answer just using laymen’s terms.

I made a project, and I made a repository on Github. I’ve been able to work with that and upload stuff to it for some time, on Windows. The Github Windows application is nice, but I wish there was a GUI for the Linux git.

I want to be able to download the source for this project, and be able to edit it on my Linux machine, and be able to do git commit -m 'durrhurr' and have it upload it to the master repository.

    Forgive me if you’ve already done most of this:

    The first step is to set up your ssh keys if you are trying to go through ssh, if you are going through https you can skip this step. Detailed instructions are provided at https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

    The next step is to make a local clone of the repository. Using the command line it will be git clone <url> The url you should be able to find on your github page.

    After that you should be able to commit and push over the command line using git commit -am "commit message" and git push
