Submitting the project and git workflow about questionnaire HOT 2 CLOSED

One of my vertical group members created a repository for the group; she made us all collaborators so we have write access.

Also, in terms of workflow, I imagine this project would be the best time to start learning git since collaborating on code is pretty much exactly its intended use-case. The instructors have been encouraging us to challenge ourselves as a way of building our skills; I think working with each other to figure out the nuances of git is probably a great way to do so :]

@sunnymh As you suggest with the stackoverflow reference, keeping a forked repository up-to-date is not trivial (unfortunately a weak part of the git/github workflow).

However, as @teresita points out, creating a repository and adding collaborators is a great way to proceed since that will give everyone direct write access to the repository. Since you all have a high degree of trust working together with each other, this is a good situation. On the other hand, if there were strangers contributing to your repository you generally don't want to give them push access unless you know them as a collaborator. Over time, strangers earn trust by contributing code and being a good steward of the project, and sometimes repository owners add them as collaborators with write access (even if they have never met in person).
