# Code Snippet | |
# 1. Fork the repository to your own Github account | |
# | |
# 2. Clone the project to your machine | |
git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/<repo-name>.git | |
# | |
# 3. Add Upstream or the remote of the original project to your local repository | |
# check remotes | |
git remote -v | |
git remote add upstream https://github.com/divanov11/Mumble.git | |
# | |
# 4. Make sure you update the local repository | |
# Get updates | |
git fetch upstream | |
# switch to master branch | |
git checkout master | |
# Merge updates to local repository | |
git merge upstream/master | |
# Push to github repository | |
git push origin master | |
# | |
# 5. Create a branch locally with a succinct but descriptive name | |
git checkout -b branch-name | |
# | |
# 6. Commit changes to the branch | |
# Stage changes for commit i.e add all modified files to commit | |
git add . | |
git commit -m "added git commands for "fork-and-pull" Git workflow" | |
# check status | |
git status | |
# | |
# 7. Following any formatting and testing guidelines specific to this repository | |
# | |
# 8. Push changes to your fork | |
git push origin branch-name | |
# | |
# 9. Open a PR in our repository and follow the PR template so that we can efficiently review the changes. | |
# | |
# 10. After the pull request was merged, fetch it and update the default branch of your fork | |
# | |
#### NB | |
1. Never Commit on the default branch, commit on branches then make a pull request | |
2. After making changes, if you want to make another change make sure you branch from the default branch because if you branch from branch-name, this will contain the changes from the 1st pull request except for the new pull request you working on requires the changes from the first pull request | |
``` | |
# check present branch | |
git branch | |
# switch to master branch | |
git checkout master | |
# create new branch for new changes | |
git checkout -b 2nd-test-branch | |
# make new changes and push to your fork | |
``` | |
3. After the pull request was merged, fetch the upstream and update the default branch of your fork | |
