In git you do this by:
* *Cloning* a repository (aka downloading stuff)
-* *Committing* your local changes (aka you "take note" of what you did. e.g. modified some files, added new files, deleted some files and so on)

## Cloning
+
(optional) [[!template id=popup mouseover="`cd <somewhere in your disk>` (?)" popup="""'cd' stands for 'change directory'. <br>It let you change the working directory to another one.""" ]]
`git clone ` + repo url
## Committing
`git add` + files you want to "take note" of.
-E.g. `git add test.png` will take note of the “test.png" file for when you will want to commit your work. (Committing your work is like saving in a videogame. When you are good with what you have done, you save the stage of the adventure).

When committing you are required to add a comment to your "save file" (commit).
Like ~~"I added the test.png file"~~.
> not what ACTION was done on what file.
## Pushing
-When you are done committing all your stuff, you want to share it with other. So you push to the remote repository (directory).

So you just `git push`.
* before pushing, what you are actually going to push
### Notes 2
-When doing `git commit` the quickest way to add the comment is by adding ` -m "<your comment here, without brackets>"`

Like this: `git commit -m "made a correction to the calculate_sum function"`.
-If you omit the -m option, a text editor will appear to let you insert a commit message. Sometimes it is useful to let git open the editor. e.g. for long comments or comments with quotes in it.
