Stack
Fork this repo.
Clone your fork by running the git clone
command in your terminal with the URL for your repo. It should look something like this:git clone https://github.com/<your username>/Geckos-Team-16.git
Next, you need to set the original repo (chingu-voyage5/Geckos-Team-16) as the “upstream.” To do this, navigate to the directory you just cloned and run:git remote add upstream https://github.com/chingu-voyage5/Geckos-Team-16.git
Before starting any work, make sure the files in your local directory (on your computer) are up-to-date with the ones in the upstream (the original chingu-voyage5/Geckos-Team-16 repo).
From inside your local directory, get the branches and their commits from upstream:git fetch upstream
Jump into the dev
branch:git checkout dev
Merge the changes from upstream/dev
into your local branch:git merge upstream/dev
Now you’re ready to make your own changes!
Create a separate branch: git checkout -b <your branch name>
Naming branches
Name branches by type (bug, feature, refactor, or style) followed by a short description.
Examples of branch names via @francesco.agnoletto/how-to-not-f-up-your-local-files-with-git-part-1-e0756c88fd3c"">@Kornil:
Once you’ve saved and committed your changes, fetch the latest code again:
git checkout dev
git fetch upstream
Switch back to the branch you were working on and merge:
git checkout <your branch name>
git merge upstream/dev
Fix any conflicts and push your new branch to origin (your fork on Github):git push origin <your branch name>
In your repo on Github, make a pull request from your new branch against the dev
branch of the original repo.
