New branch #1

Open phoebejiang opened 7 years ago

phoebejiang commented 7 years ago

Created a new branch called DSstore. Added Brian as a collaborator.

Good! So, were you able to change your github desktop GUI so that it pushes to your fork and not the THB branch?

phoebejiang commented 7 years ago

I think so. I clicked "clone repository" in my file menu of the desktop GUI and copied the link. The original THB repo and my forked repo have exactly the same directory so I had to move the original THB folder elsewhere.

Maybe I should have given the forked repo a different name so I can tell which is which? They have the same name "DoctoralThesisTexTemplate" so it's hard to tell which one I'm on. But because I just did it and I remember it is the forked one not the original one.

To create a branch, I clicked "new branch" in my branch menu of the GUI. It's empty though.

What does the collaborator mean? Can you file an issue in my forked repo now?

BarkleyBG commented 7 years ago
  1. i declined collaboration. That's fine.
  2. i can now file issues. You must have somehow turned that setting on. that's fine.
  3. I'm glad you can create a branch. that's good.
  4. So now you have two different folders on your computer with these templates on it?

  1. I still have one main GitHub folder on my computer and it has the forked repo folder on it. I moved the original TBH repo folder out of the GitHub folder. It works.. I just don't know if it is the most efficient way to do it.

In general, you should only have one folder on your computer for the same idea. You can use the branches in git to use the same folder for both your fork and the original repo. This isn't the first thing to learn, but git does make it easy to do this.

This link actually describes most of it: http://blog.scottlowe.org/2015/01/27/using-fork-branch-git-workflow/. It will probably take more than one read-through since you're still unfamiliar with working from the terminal

So, delete the other folder on your computer.

You should have only one folder. This should have git set up to push to your fork.

Once you've done that, you may close this issue! :)

phoebejiang commented 7 years ago

Delete the original repo folder? It is currently in my download folder.

BarkleyBG commented 7 years ago

ok, perhaps I'm unclear what you mean by that and

I moved the original TBH repo folder out of the GitHub folder

You can perhaps show me when I'm in town next week.

Either way, follow that link above to learn how to use your fork to make changes and the make a pull request from your fork to the THB repo. That's how we will work from now on, as that's how it's mostly done.

Cool, I will read the link and show you what I did when you come back. I'll be out of town till 7/15.
