The tutorial uses the repository named GIT Tutorial available here
There are a broad range of information available online that I recommend to learn about GIT
- Create a GitHub account
- Setup a GIT client (e.g. SourceTree, GITkraken) and configure it for your identity (provide name and email in the configuration panel)
- Fork the GIT Tutorial repository
- Clone the newly forked repository on your local computer
You will be working on File 1.txt in this exercise.
- Check out the master branch
- Open File 1.txt:
- Solve the last equation
- Write a new unsolved equation (for the next participant)
- Commit your work to the repository
- Push your changes to your remote
- Create a Pull-Request (PR) to the main repository
- Follow up on any further instruction
You will be working on File 2.txt in this exercise.
- Check the existing PR #1
- Check for existing error (You might need to scroll down to the latest update!)
- Check out the example branch
- Make sure your example branch is up-to-date with the one in the main repository
- Fix the wrong equation
- Write a new equation with a wrong answer
- Create a PR to the main repository (to the example branch)
You will be working on File 3.txt in this exercise.
- Check out the tutorial branch
- Open File_3.txt and fix the grammar mistake
- Commit your work to the repository
- Push your changes to your remote
- Pull the master branch into your local branch
- Solve the conflicts, and commit the operation
- Open the Finished Tutorial.md file, and add your name to the list
- Commit your work and create a pull request to the main repository (to the master branch)
I hope this will help you grasp how GIT works. I will have a look at your pull requests and comment back if you did something wrong. All in all this should take you about 30 minutes (less if you already have installed and configured SourceTree on your computer)
