			* Fetching changes - Now your local repo and the remote repo on github may get out of sync as other team members commit their code. You need to fetch their changes to your local repository.
			git fetch
			* Check the status of your local repo, gives which files have changed, which are untracked, etc
			git status
			* To find out which is the current branch
			git branch

			So typical workflow once you create a repo is:
			git fetch
			git add foo.rb
			git status
			git commit -m "commit msg"
			git push

Git is a source code management tool.More on git [http://progit.org/book/ch1-3.html here]. github.com is a web application that allows anyone to create an account and host a public git repository. When you work in teams, we encourage you to set up a repository on github for your project.

Some basic steps:
* Create an account on github
* Install git- Depending on your OS, this will vary. For ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install git-core git-gui git-doc

* github uses SSH keys to setup secure connection between your local repo and the public repo. Go to github help at [http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git/ Github help] and follow the steps to setup ssh keys
* Creating a repository - Lets say we want to create a repository for Backchannel project.
<br/>Create a directory where the repository will be stored
$ mkdir ~/backchannel
Init a git repo in that directory
$ cd ~/backchannel
$ git init
You will get an output like An empty git repository has been initialized on the terminal.
This initializes a git repo locally.
* Create a repository on github
