I have some issues. Please, how do I delete some files in my repository ? I searched for it during last hour. Is it impossible to delete all repository and rebuild one another ?
It is possible to delete the entire repository if you want.
https://github.com/{username}/{repository-name}/settings, scroll till the end, highlighted in red you should find the option to delete the repository entirely.Morning, I delete repositories. Then, I create new repositories. I want to create newly files. I'm not finding such as previously "Add new file" in respective repositories
. Why ? It's very annoying. I have wasted 1 hour. Why ?
Thank you too much. I just work on it now. You may either delete entirely repository. Well.
you can always choose to delete those files locally and just push the changes. but if you want to delete those files through github, then just navigate to the file , click on the horizontal three dots on the right and delete the file, it will be highlighted in red.
Thank you too much. Indeed, i just see it now. But I experience that with this method, file doesn't disappear. It seems that it remains inside repository. The first method is better. Cool.
Thank you, great article!
Thank You !
Hi Everly, you've done a great job for novice developers. Every developer should have the basic knowledge of.git GitHub to this extent at least.
Thank you !
This is exactly what every developer needs. A great read for noobies as well as a refresher for other devs.
Thank you !
Really great article!
Thank you, appreciate it !
most horsecrap article on the topic, why you have to confuse b/w open source and source code management
OSS is about software that's freely accessible to people. If a person wants to contribute to it, they will need to know source code management. So, yes this article in a way covers source code management but only in a brief level to make a quality first contribution and is intended for beginners. I have made it pretty clear in the intro that it is for first-time contributors, to just get started.
It talks about CLAs and provides resources for open-source enthusiasts to make their first mark. You can't expect me to write an article for first time contributors without talking about source code management can you? What type of beginner friendly article would that be?
