# Link and Push local repo to remote repo #
note:
    - run on term with local repo, watch path
    - usually remote is blank at this point (not sure what would happen when you do with this a remote repo with commits alredy on it.)
git remote add origin <url of remote repo>.git # linking? example: "git remote add origin https://github.com/davidearlyoung/gitty-the-1st.git"

# Clone of Remote Repo to Local Repo in VS Code (for 2nd machine?) #
note:
    - currenltly doing through command pallet. There are other ways.
    - will need the remote repo url. (.git not needed on the end of the url)
ctrl + shift + p (command pallet in VS Code)
git clone (Git: Clone)

# "Create" of Repo in VS Code (for 2nd machine?) #
note:
    - currenltly doing through command pallet. There are other ways.
ctrl + shift + p (command pallet in VS Code)
git clone (Git: Clone)

# New local branch from Repo in VS Code #
cmd pallet: git create (Git Create Branch)

# Merging of Repo #
note:
    - merging is done locally and then pushed to remote
    - common to delete the old branch once it's been merged back into master. (done on web for remote repo and with the local)
cmd pallet: git merg (Git: Merge Branch)

# Deleting of a Branch #
note:
    - see: # merging of repo #
    - delete needs to be done on local, and on the remote repo's. remote can be done online by web interface.
    - what happens with local and remote not lining up with branches. (one is deleted on one but not the other? (missing remote))
cmd pallet: git delete (Git: Delete Branch)

# Auto Fetch repo for VS Code #
note:
    - make changes on one device then push to remote. would be nice to see that changes happened on another device using the same remote repo

- remove the 2nd branch web on git hub
- what would happen if I don't remove it on the client and try to commit, push and such?
