An FAQ-style doc to be distributed with the pre-course prep materal. Will grow as needed.

Some initial points:

  • master vs main branch issues
    • note on changing name of existing branch
    • note on setting default branch name with git config --global init.defaultBranch main
  • Windows authentication
    • no need for PAT key
    • error 403 on push means auth error
    • if no prompt to enter username/password, then git is using windows credential managet (see below)

If error 403, and Windows is using credential manager, then go to control panel -> credential manager -> windows credentials and delete entry for github.com. The user should then be prompted for user/pass on next push.
