GitHub Quick Start Guide
Prerequites:
Helpful links:
1. Clone the Repository
First, you'll need to clone the repository to your local machine. This creates a local copy of the repository that you can work on.
- Go to the repository page on GitHub.
- Click the green Code button and copy the URL (either HTTPS or SSH).
- Open a terminal on your local machine and run the following command:
git clone <repository-url>
2. Create a New Branch
Before making changes, create a new branch. This keeps your changes separate from the main branch.
- Navigate to the cloned repository directory:
cd <repository-name>
Replace with the name of the cloned repository.
- Create a new branch and switch to it:
git checkout -b <branch-name>
3. Add & Commit Changes
After making changes to files, you'll need to stage and commit them.
- Stage the changes:
git add .
- Commit the changes with a descriptive message:
git commit -m "Your commit message"
4. Push the Branch to GitHub
Push your new branch to GitHub so others can see it and review your changes.
git push -u origin <branch-name>
5. Create a Pull Request
To merge your changes into the main branch, create a pull request.
- Go to the repository page on GitHub.
- You should see a prompt to create a pull request for your recently pushed branch. Click Compare & pull request.
- Add a title and description for your pull request.
- Click Create pull request.
6. Review and Merge
Once you've created a pull request, team members can review your changes. After the review, a team member with write access will merge your pull request into the main branch.
