I used wget followed by the raw path to the C source file I wanted after viewing the file in the github repository and clicking the Raw button. Worked like a champ with Raspbian on my Raspberry Pi 3. I'm a bit late to the game, but this worked perfectly for me. Viewing the raw content and then right-clicking to download didn't work for my case because I needed the file in a specific format, which wasn't offered by my computer.

There's a download button on the repository's homepage. Of course, this downloads the entire repo, after which you would need to unzip the download and then manually drag out the specific files you need. Other browser's will have a similar UI, but the selection description may vary.
Now that your repository is ready, type this:. If you already had a repository ready to go, you'd just need to cd to that directory and then run the git init command in there instead. Either way, your local repository is ready to go and you can start committing code. But wait, you don't have anything to commit! Let's take a break for a second and see what just happened. Go into the home folder on your computer and look at the Hello-World folder or look at whatever folder you're using for a local repository.
What you won't see is a. Git hides it in there, but because you ran the git init command you know it exists. It doesn't, and you have to tell it. This command will do the trick:. If you want to add other files to commit, you'll use the same command but replace README with the name of a different file. Now, run this command to commit it:. While the other commands were pretty straightforward, the commit command has a little more going on so let's break it down.
When you type git , that's just telling the command line that you want to use the git program. When you type commit , you're telling git you want to use the commit command. Everything that follows those two thing count as options. The first, -m , is what's known as a flag.
A flag specifies that you want to do something special rather than just run the commit command. In this case, the -m flag means 'message' and what follows it is your commit message in the example, 'first commit'.
The message isn't absolutely necessary although you'll usually need to provide one , but simply a reference to help you differentiate the various versions of a file or files you commit to your repository.
Your first commit should go by in a split second because you haven't actually uploaded anything yet. Here's the first:. You need to replace 'yourusername' with—you guessed it—your GitHub username. For me, it'd look like this:.
This command tells git where to send your Hello-World repository. Now all you need to do is send it:. Congratulations on your first commit! Using GitHub requires more than just committing a README file, but these basics should give you a good grasp on how to interact with the git app and the service. Now that you know how GitHub works at its core, you can use the GitHub apps to manage your code instead if you prefer.
