About Git Cmd in Windows

This is a page for me to remember how to push to github (I struggled a bit because GameMaker does not have an integrated git funciton).

setup

git config --global core.editor "notepad" This is important to make git use Notepad instead of wim (vim is making my cry)
git remote add hampter https://github.com/CdFerneding/hampter Adding a remote (linking to my github repository) named hampter
git remote set-url hamtper https://github.com/CdFerneding/hampter Setting the remote url
git pull --allow-unrelated-histories hamtper dev Pulling from remote repsitory after my dev branch diverted so much that I could not pull (Esentially overwriting the local branch with the remote equivalent)
echo.>.gitignore Creating a file in windows (.gitignore is a git file where file can be specified that should not be pushed to the remote)
