firstimers

A repository to allow people to try out the core concepts of Git

Where to Begin

• Fork this repository

• Clone the forked repository, generating a copy of this repository.

• Open a terminal window (or command prompt) and write: git clone git@github.com:{YOUR_GIT_USERNAME}/firstimers.git. This will download the repository to your computer.

• You now have a local copy of the repository. Let's make some changes. Go inside the repository using the following command : cd firstimers

• Executing the ls command, you will notice there are two directories: assets and src. Cd into the src directory

• Before we can make any changes, we must create a branch in which our changes will be pushed to. To do this run this command : git checkout -b YOUR_BRANCH_NAME

• Here you will find a file named change_me.md. Open this file in a text editor and add a new line with text to it

• Head back over to the terminal and execute the git status command

• Now you can see that the change_me.md file has been modified. To add it to our commit, execute git add change_me.md

• If you execute git status again, you will now see that the file is staged

• Execute the git commit -m "Your commit message" to commit your changes

• Finally we can execute git push

• Woah! It lookes like we have a problem. We need to set up a remote upstream to push to

• If we head back to the repository, we will see this notification :

• We can now open a Pull Request by clicking the button Compare & pull request
