- Simulate making code changes on projects and homework
- Get comfortable with pushing commits to GitHub repo
- Understanding of how to submit HW via Pull Requests
- Make at least 3x different changes to the code in this repo
- Make sure to COMMIT these changes each time (so 3x different commits)
- Push each of these changes up to your fork
- At the end, make a final, single Pull Request to the upstream (original) repo
Now that you understand Git workflow better, pull down + submit some more changes to your Google Clone homework repo
Make sure to have GitHub Desktop installed https://desktop.github.com/
- Fork this repository to create a copy of it on your GitHub account (only do this the first time)
- Navigate to your forked exercise repository
- Click "Clone or Download" (green button)
- Select "Open in Desktop" - you should have the Desktop app installed before doing this
- Follow the instructions to download the repo to your computer
- Have fun coding!
you can simply open that project folder in GitHub Desktop
- In GitHub Desktop - it should show all your code changes already. Make sure to commit your changes (section in the bottom left) with a summary description
- After committing, the center navigation should be clear
- Click "Push Origin" on the top
- Now your work is saved to your GitHub repo - great job!
- You can always "push your code" to your repo so that it's accessible anywhere you have Internet
Pull Requests are a way for programmers to submit code change suggestions to an upstream repository
- In our case, the upstream = class repo
- Forked repo = your working repo (or the "origin")
In this class, we'll be using PRs to submit homework, where instructors can check + comment your work
