new to the repo?
git clone
the repo
git checkout -b branchname
Replace branchname with the name of you branch, say ed-working, i.e. git checkout -b ed-working
This compresses two commands into one, it makes a new branch git branch ed-working
and then moves to that branch with
git checkout ed-working
Make sure you are working from your created branch with git branch
Go all edity and stuff, write code change files, everything you do is tracked by git. Once you are done:
git add -A
||git add .
git commit -m "some commit message in strings"
git push origin branchname
<- your branch notmaster
Your changes are now on a remote ref in the cloud, open a PR either on the browser window in Github or in the command line -> . feel free to add how to do that in here
Remember to update your master with git pull origin master
then -> git checkout your-working-branch
and then merge master
This ^ cycle is good. DO NOT DO -> git push origin master
