Getting Started With Github
Click on the FORK icon on top right of your screen .
After the step 1, you have to click on the Green Colored “Clone or download” button and copy the web-URL .
Open Terminal/Command Line and write the command
git clone <link you copied> e.ggit clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/ProjectNamePress Enter. Your local clone will be created.
Then, go to footsteps-app (cd footsteps-app) and do git remote add upstream https://github.com/fnplus/footsteps-app.git (use [email protected]:fnplus/footsteps-app.git if using SSH) to add a remote called upstream and link it to Footsteps's main repository (this will be used to merge with the latest version on develop and also to prevent running lint checks on merge commits when you later update your local branch with upstream/master).
If your upstream is not set correctly, the lint checks will run on merge commits as well. The way to fix this will be to update the upstream URL by running the following command: git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/fnplus/footsteps-app.git (use [email protected]:fnplus/footsteps-app.git if using SSH)
To create a separate branch write this command on Github —
git fetch upstream
git checkout develop
git merge upstream/develop
git checkout -b your-branch-name This will update your local repo with latest changes and also create a new branch with name as your-branch-name. If you find any difficulty, please check Fork a repo-Github Help
Now, Open the project in your local device. It will be in the directory where you cloned the project. After opening the project, make some meaningful changes to the project(Add features, Modify existing code, Add files/Readme.md) .
To add all the changes you made write the command
git add .Commit all your changes using the command
git commit -m "commit message"git push -u origin <name_of_your_new_branch>To create a pull request that is ready for review, click Create Pull Request. For more information about creating pull requests, see “About pull requests.”
