Thanks a lot thejacenxpress.. Watching your video is the best thing that I did.. I am not a programmer but I am working on a project where in I have to use github for version control. I was facing a tough time as I suck at coding. Your video is so simple to understand, it has made things really easy for me ot understand. Thanks a bunch for such a great video. Gonna catch the rest of the tutorial.

Hmm the "git config color.ui true" doesn't work. It sais "Error: Could not lock config file .git/config: No such file or directory

Great vids btw!

@Zorobay That's a really odd error you have yourself there! I was able to replicate it by getting out of my git directory. Perhaps you accidentally changed directories? What happens when you run git status?

@thejacenxpress Thank you for your fast answer...I didn't realize you had to be IN your repository location to execute the command >.< Though i have another question. Say i'm using eclipse to make a general program. I have my workspace on dropbox (cloud hosting) and it is located in C:/blabla/Dropbox/blabla/JavaP­rojekt. Now i want this projekt on github, so I want git Bash to start at that location by default and not in C:/Users/Username...can I do that? TY!

@Zorobay Personally I know it's possible you just need to find the configuration file to edit. In my case I use the .bash_profile file to make start up adjustments (mainly just really cool colors). So lets say you want to start in /projects/something...normally you 'cd' into that folder right? If you put 'cd /projects/something' in your bash_profile, then every time you start your console it will run that command. If you need more info just google up bash profile and eclipse :)
