How to work on someone else's branch

#How to work on someone else's branch

Let's assume you need to collaborate with Batman on his forked repository.

  • First, you need to add his fork as a remote.
git remote add batman git@github.com:batman/iambatman.git
  • Now, you can fetch, pull and push to his fork (if you have permissions to do so).

Markdown and reStructuredText


GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation;
the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown
and reStructuredText.  Markdown is sometimes considered easier to
use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML.
On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful,
with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as
things like automatic generation of tables of contents.
