The starting point for this experiment was from here

An Example using C Program Source

Let’s say we have a pre-existing directory of some C source code files:

$ ls Makefile print print.c print.h print.o

And we initialize a new git repository in that directory:

$ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/user/tmp/printer/.git/ $ cat .gitignore # Ignore all * # Unignore all with extensions !*.* # Unignore all dirs !*/ # Unignore make files !Makefile # Ignore .o files *.o # Ignorebindir bin/ # or */bin/*

A while ago, I installed the iSH app on my iPad which made it possible for me to develop Python and C code as well as use it as an SSH client. However, I ran into an issue when trying to compile C code because the compiler couldn’t resolve stdio.h. The following excerpt from StackOverflow resolves the issue:

Install libc-dev in addition to GCC, or just install build-base for everything (alpine-sdk is probably an overkill). To install run the following command:
