Github collaboration

STEP ONE

• Make a fork of this repo on your Github

STEP TWO

• Clone the repo on your computer git clone repo on your github

STEP THREE

• Go into the app folder cd foldername

STEP FOUR

• add the remote upstream to connect to the main repo git remote add upstream repo name(link you copied to clone)
• To confirm do: git remote -v
• now you have two remotes on your local computer: origin and upstream STEP FOUR
• make sure you are on the master branch git checkout master
• Get the current version of both on the main repo and push to your forked git pull upstream master && git push origin master
• Create a new branch to work on. Name this in a precise manner. I prefer name\feature; git checkout -b lawrence\update-readme

STEP FIVE

• Do some work and stage to git add the file you changed
• In this case git add README.md
• Commit the work you staged to git to save it permanently git commit -m “message of what you did”
• In this case git commit -m "update contributing part of README.md
• Push the new branch to the remote repo on GitHub git push -u origin branch you created
• in this case git push -u origin lawrence\update-readme

STEP SIX

• Create a pull request
• This is for asking for your changes to be included in the main repo
• Go to your GitHub … to the repo you forked
• Click on the compare and pull request.
• To create a pull request. Use markdown symbols as used below

# Title of what you did
## subtitle or short description
- To make points
- More points
# Screenshots
- drag and drop images to show the outputs of your changes
- this makes it easier to verify your changes

STEP SEVEN

• sit, relax, and wait for your pull request to be accepted.
