+
+#Setup Github
+When you have a github-account, you may install Github. Before installing Github, you need to set up the ssh keys. This manual will also guide you trough cloning and configurnig with github.
+
+#Setup the SSH-key
+Open the terminal in Ubuntu.
+Type:
+
+$cd ~/.ssh
+
+When the terminal displays: ""bash: cd: ./.ssh:No such file or directory" you should generate a public/private rsa ket pair, continue with step 3.
+If the terminal changes to ~/.ssh directory, continue with step 5.
+Open a new terminal and type:
+
+$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
+
+After hitting Enter, the terminal will say: 'Generating public/private rsa ket pair. Enter file in which to save the key(/Home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa):' please press only enter and the terminal will ask to enter a passphrase.
+Enter a suitable passphrase which is > 4 characters. If this is done, please continue with step 6.
+(Follow this step only if your terminal changed to "~/.ssh")
+You already have some SSH-keys, following commands will backup (in folder "key_backup") and remove the keys. Type in your terminal:
+
+$ mkdir key_backup
+$ cd id_rsa* key backup
+$ rm id_rsa*
+
+#Add the SSH-key to github, type in the terminal:
+
+$ gedit id_rsa.pub
+
+Ubuntu will open a file, copy it's entire content:
+Open the github site and login.
+Go to "Account Settings" (in the upper right corner from your page).
+Click: "SSH Keys"
+Click: "Add another public key"
+Paste the copied content into the "key field" and press "Add key"
+
+Open the terminal again and type the following command:
+
+ssh-add
+
+This is only required if you use ubuntu (which all the readers of this document should, as described in the introduction.)
+Your setup for the ssh-key is completed! Now you are ready to install github.
+
+#Install Github
+Open the terminal and type the following command:
+
+$ sudo apt-get install git-core git-gui git-doc
+
+Your terminal will download some things and install github automaticly. When it's done, your installation is complete! The next step is getting your local copy of the repository (or code-branch), follow the instructions for "Cloning".
+
+#Cloning
+Cloning is a way of downloading a local copy of your project. The following command will clone the code branch, just replace "username" with you GitHub username and project name with the name of project on github:
+
+$ git clone [email protected]:username/projectname.git
+
+Be aware, do not misspell the command, it won't work. If you are having trouble, read the given error and try to solve him by reading the following page
