What does this it all mean?

github vs git? clone? commit? branch? PR? Outside changes?

---

Github vs git

• Github: web interface to git (+ special sauce)
• git: used to track revisions in code, works on text, images etc

---

clone

• copies a repository remote server -> your computer
• is complete copy of every change, ever
• changes made (aka in your clone) only exist locally until you commit and push them

---

commit

• changes are recorded to your clone when you commit them
• shared changes by pushing your commits back to where you cloned from
• any changes you make can be reverted at any time
• any changes you do not push can not be seen by others

---

branch

• branches normally capture a logical chunk of work (ie a ticket)
• branches normally have a ticket in their name: 6724-MNCH-docs
• all branches exist locally, both master and any new ones like 6724-MNCH-docs
• allows others to view your work (and even add commits!)

---

pull request

• explicitly created to get feedback on a request to merge changes to master
• allow you to view and comment on a series of commits.
• not part of git, provided by Github
• other users can comment and request changes in a PR
• multiple commits may be added over time to address feedback

---

upstream changes

• changes to master
• changes on your branch

---
