This is a repository for teaching material of git basic for collaboration and contribution to the open-source

Learning outcome :

• Understand basic step-by-step collaboration in the open-source repository

Check your requirements!

• Already installed git. Check this link download git
• Already set username and email of git. Check this link git configuration

What should you do ?

• Fork this repository, you will see on top of page

• Clone the repository to your device, you can use git bash git clone <repo_url>

• Create a new branch, then checkout to the new branch that has been created. Use git checkout -b <branch_name> or git branch <branch_name> then follow by git switch <branch_name>.

• Start making a folder and some files in the repository. Example :

  

  You can use windows file explorer directly to create a folder or use linux commands like mkdir and echo.

• Then, commit the file1 and file2 in the first commit, then commit file3 in the second commit. First of all, move the file into the staging area using git add <file_name>, after that you can commit the change using git commit -m "commit message". (Best practice: use conventional commit message to improve readability)

• So in the end we will have 2 commits, 1 commit for file1 and file2, 1 commit for file3.

• Push the commit into your branch using git push -u origin <branch_name>.

• Check the repository in the github, then choose compare pull & request. If you encounter a compare and pull request button doesn't appear. Ask the mentor immediately.

• Fill the some details in the pull & request section then finish it!
