Git Setup Guide

To initialise Git, write

git init

1. Configure your local Git

git config --global user.name "github username"

   git config --global user.email email-address

2. Go to the first-contribution repository and Fork it.

• A fork is a rough copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely test and debug with changes without affecting the original project. One of the excessive use of forking is to propose changes for bug fixing.

• Click on Code Button and copy the URL of your forked Repository

3. Switch to your Git bash window, and enter the following :

• Clone the Forked project on your local system

• Make the changes

4. Creating a Pull request

Create a branch

• A branch is designed to encapsulate a group of changes. These changes might be thrown away, entirely rewritten or in the majority of cases they’ll be promoted into the main history of the codebase - via a merge.

• Creating a branch

git branch branch_name

• Checkout to the created branch

git checkout branch_name

• Now add the files using the git command

git add .

• Commit the changes to the local project

git commit -m "Added my data"

• Push the changes to your forked github repo

git push origin branch_name
