Version-Controll with Atom: how to set & configure the interaction of Atom and Github

[dilbert_one]

hello dear ubuntu-experts,

the question i am working on: Version-Controll with Atom: how to set & configure the interaction of Atom and Github

i am pretty new to Atom and github - so i have a question: how to get up and configured the ATOM-editor so that it works with the Github-Account

regarding the atom-manual on the following page i have several questions:
https://flight-manual.atom.io/using-...ntrol-in-atom/

i think that for a beginner in ATOM - it is the question how to connect to the Github-Account. The below mentioned Atom-Manual notes how to work with the Git Account. But the question of the day is : how to get to the

#interaction of Atom with the Github-account!?
that is the first question.

> ### Version Control in Atom
>
> Version control is an important aspect of any project and Atom comes with basic [Git](https://git-scm.com) and [GitHub](https://github.com) integration built in.
>
> In order to use version control in Atom, the project root needs to contain the Git repository.
>
> #### Checkout HEAD revision
>
> The <kbd>Alt+Ctrl+Z</kbd> keybinding checks out the `HEAD` revision of the file in the editor.
>
> This is a quick way to discard any saved and staged changes you've made and restore the file to the version in the `HEAD` commit. This is essentially the same as running `git checkout HEAD -- <path>` and `git reset HEAD -- <path>` from the command line for that path.

OK... besides this thread, there are 3 more where you appear to be asking the same question:

However, I'm afraid that I am not all that clear about what you are asking.

I tried Atom for a while but couldn't find a compelling reason to use it. Nor am I motivated to use git or any version control from within an editor or IDE - I use git from the command line & occasionally via 'git gui'. However...

If you already have a local clone of a github repository, then when you open the project in Atom, this will be recognised. If you don't have a local clone, then you can clone it from within Atom: "Ctrl-Shift-P" and "Github: Clone" - see https://flight-manual.atom.io/using-...e-repositories

If this isn't what you are asking, then please try to explain more clearly what you want to know... although an Atom forum might be more helpful. I don't recall seeing any Atom threads on Ubuntuforums apart from yours.
