Like I mention in the video...I wouldn't be surprised if I get questions for this one since everyone's computer is setup in different ways. I'd say if you want an immediate response...try googling your error message first!

I'm getting an error (ssh: Could not resolve hostname github: nodename nor servname provided, or not known) when entering this command: git push -u origin master

Do you know why I might be getting this message?

Thanks for the video, by the way. It's great!

@briansgervais Hey there Brian! Try taking out the -u. (git push origin master)

How do you get your console to come down like that?

[thejacenxpress]

@Zahrec I tried copying the link to the site but youtube ain't liking it! Do a google search for Visor, it's the top one :)

how is it different from SVN?

[thejacenxpress]

@salfratuka I only have about 500 characters to type for these comments responses so I dont' want to go into a long explanation. I googled "svn vs git" and found some great articles that go a lot more in depth than 500 characters into explaining the differences. Unfortunately EVERYONE is opinionated about what they think is better. I think they both are great...but the company I work at uses GIT. If you want to know exactly why we switched from SVN...send me a PM and I'll write you back. :)

[briansgervais]

@thejacenxpress Thanks for the quick reply.  I tried just 'git push origin master' with no luck. Still getting that same error.

@salfratuka The big difference is that git is distributed and SVN has a central repository. That means than rather than just checking out a few documents at a time, you work with the whole repository.

@salfratuka Thanks! I have 4-5 more videos planned out for the basics...and then after that...whatever anyone wants to see/learn if they get enough views/don't break anyone's computer.

I want to learn about branches and tagging. Can I checkout a tag? Thanks for your guide. Looking forward for the next videos.
