Installing Git in Ubuntu 10.10 (Maveric Meerkat)

    What is Git? 

Git is a Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) is a system for software revision control.
was initially developed by Linus Torvalds. For other blah blahs .. visit GIT.

Follow these steps for installing git:

1. Create a free or Premium Github account

2. After you login on the right side of the page there will be a small button named
    'New Repository' click that button and in the new page fill the appropriate
    details and click 'Create Repository'.
     
3. New Page will appear like as shown below (Don't close it just minimize it):
     

4. Now lets configure our Hackbox. Download the git.tar.bz2 package from

5. Extract the package and navigate to it and do


     >./configure
     >sudo make install

6. Check the installation by typing

     >git version
     git version 1.7.3.2

7. Generating SSH keys(Github needs it):
    In the terminal type
   >ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "xxxx@yzmail.com"
and just press enter for the next 3 statements.
Now execute the following commands :
      ravi@Hackintosh:~$ cd .ssh
      ravi@Hackintosh:~/.ssh$ gedit id_rsa.pub
The file will be opened in gedit just COPY all the contents and close it  and paste the contents in temporary document for later use.( For more info :http://help.github.com/linux-key-setup/)

8. Now(reopen browser window and goto github page) and  Copy the commands under Global setup and execute in the  in the terminal.

    >git config --global user.name "xxxxxx"
     >git config --global user.email xxx@yyy.com

Note: Substitute XXXX with appropriate info.
  
   Now create a New directory for which you want to keep track of your 
revision changes(say here 'test') by



     >ravi@Hackintosh:~$ mkdir test
    >ravi@Hackintosh:~$ cd test
    >ravi@Hackintosh:~/test$ git init
    >Initialized empty Git repository in /home/ravi/test/.git/
    >ravi@Hackintosh:~/test$ touch README
    >ravi@Hackintosh:~/test$ git add README 

    Now before proceeding to the next step just revisit the website(github.com) and in    the top right corner there is 'Admin' button Click it. A new page will be shown as below:
     

9. Now click 'Deploy keys' -> Add Another Deploy Key >
TITLE : TEST
Key : (Paste the Copied Key)
and click 'add Key'.

10. Now in the Ubuntu terminal type:

        > git commit -m 'first commit'  

        >  git remote add origin git@github.com:xxxx/test.git
        >  git push origin master
Now you have Successfully configured Git.

Android Studio Ninja Tip: Custom try/catch code template

As an Android Studio user, you should be familiar with the “ surround-with try-catch” functionality. Surround with try-catch When you use Ctrl+Alt+T (Linux) / Cmd+Alt+T (Mac) shortcut, the built-in try-catch generator auto generates a call to the printStackTrace() method of class Exception in the catch block.
