+ [5 years ago] user217_ jhass: so the problem was (if I right understand) becouse I create repo in github, but dont clone it and try to push new branch that have no the same initial commit?
+ [5 years ago] jhass sounds plausible. There's multiple ways to arrive there but this sounds the one easiest to arrive to by mistake

not the full repo
+ [5 years ago] bettencb I'm fairly new to the github process and was wondering if anyone had a good walkthrough with how to clone a repo then compile and run the code. I keep reading that there's usually instructions in the repo, the specific repo I'm referring to is the microsoft's vscode. I'm working on the code just from the command line in ubuntu 18.04 lts
+ [5 years ago] nedbat bettencb: compiling and running the code isn't a github process, it's different for every repo
+ [5 years ago] bettencb I assumed that. just can't seem to figure out what I'm supposed to do with the forked clone i have of vscode and didn't know if anyone had a suggestion
+ [5 years ago] bettencb thank you for the quick response tho!
