−	This ~~has been earmarked for future~~.	+	=== Installing Git Packages ===
		+	Git can be installed via the CLI on just about any Linux Distribution. Below are some examples of how to do so:
		+
		+	==== Fedora/RHEL/CentOS ====
		+	<nowiki>
		+	sudo dnf install git
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	==== Ubuntu/Debian ====
		+	<nowiki>
		+	sudo apt-get install git
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+
		+	=== Creating a Repo ===
		+	Once Git is installed, use the command below to begin with creating a repository:
		+
		+	<nowiki>
		+	gh repo create
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	Follow the prompts of the command to continue creating and configuring the repository.
		+
		+	The prompts will likely walk-through/request the following:
		+	-- Repo Name
		+	-- Repo Description
		+	-- Visibility settings for the repo (Public, Private, Internal)
		+	-- README file creation
		+	-- Creation of a .gitignore file (more on this specifically below)
		+	-- Deciding on a license (What other users are able to do with the code within your repo, i.e. GPLv3)
		+	-- Should the repo be cloned locally
		+
		+	After the command has finished, run the below to initialize the repo:;
		+
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git init
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	Next the repo will need the account information of the user operating within this repo, to use as the author of changes being staged, committed, and pushed from this machine:
		+
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git config --global user.email YOUR_EMAIL
		+	i.e. git config --global user.email first.last@domain.com
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	OR
		+
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git config --user.name YOUR_USERNAME
		+	i.e. git config --global user.name CoolGuyBob123
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+
		+	=== Adding Files/Directories to Staging ===
		+	To ADD files to 'Staging' prior to committing them to the online repo:
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git add [FILENAME/DIRECTORY]
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	And to REMOVE files from 'Staging' so they will NOT be committed:
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git rm [FILENAME/DIRECTORY]
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	To check the status of the files in the repo, compared to those in the online repo:
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git status
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	=== Committing Files/Directories ===
		+	To add the files from 'Staging' to 'Committed':
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git commit -m "INSERT COMMENT DESCRIBING THE CHANGES BEING COMMITTED"
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+	This will add/remove the entire list of staged files/directories to "Committed', along with a comment that will be visible.
		+
		+	=== Pushing Commits to GitHub ===
		+	To push the 'Committed' changes to the online repo, along with their respective comments:
		+	<nowiki>
		+	git push
		+	</nowiki>
		+
		+
		+	=== .gitignore File ===
