Well, I suggest you first read through the help pages of GitHub. Here's a starting point:
https://help.github.com/articles/set-up ... atform-all

GitHub is a place to share and collaborate your work (i.e. mod)

In order to make a mod, you have to learn the basic knowledge of Minetest Modding, or by watching the code from other simple mods.

Good luck!

Congratulations - hopefully you will find your joy in modding for Minetest :-)

srifqi's link is very relevant; I find myself going to the methods page a lot: http://dev.minetest.net/Category:Methods

Dunno if the MT forums are normally an appropriate place for asking about github questions specifically... maybe you might find some place for discussion on this topic in the Offtopic forum? I'll keep an eye out for you if so.

In the Github help section there's a 'Bootcamp' that guides you clearly through all the steps, it's how i learnt.

Referencing paramat's response:

https://help.github.com/categories/bootcamp/

I'd recommend the git book manual's basics pages too https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Git-Basics

There's a "Chapter" menu in small letters above the text area. The areas you are likely interested in are chapters 2 and 3 to start off with.

Your base commands are:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: git clone https://cloneurl git add my/file.lua git commit -m "added my awesome changes" git push # typo but not yet pushed? git commit --amend # temporally revert changes git stash # show stashed changes git show stash # apply stashed changes git stash apply # get a commit from the original mod you forked or from another fork git fetch https://origin/url git cherry-pick 21a3123s1212d313f # (the hash of the commit) # bring forked mod with less changes simply up to date (this method also works with other forks, thats why i note it this way git pull https://wanted/repo # reset your mod completly, even commits git reset --hard HEAD # reset your mod to a specific upstream commit git reset (hard?) 21a3123s1212d313f # (the hash of the commit)

Edit: better formatted cheat cheet just created here
