Working with a team on a Git and GitHub project can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help beginners work collaboratively with a team using Git and GitHub.
The first step is to clone the repository to your local machine. To do this, ask your team leader or a teammate for the repository’s URL. Then, open up your terminal or command prompt and run the command:
git clone <repository-url>
Replace <repository-url> with the URL your team member provided.
Once you’ve cloned the repository, create a new branch for your changes. This keeps your changes separate from the main branch and makes it easier for others to review your changes. To create a new branch, run the command:
git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
Replace <new-branch-name> with a descriptive name for your branch.
Now it’s time to make your changes! Look for issues or bugs in the project’s repository or implement a new feature that you think would be useful. Once you’ve made your changes, commit them with a descriptive commit message:
git add .
git commit -m “Descriptive commit message here”
