HackOurCampus Git Workshop

In this repo we will practice using branches, committing code, and opening pull requests (PRs) by checking in your information! 🚀🚢

Prereqs:

• make sure you have Git installed and are logged in to your GitHub account on Git
• you can either use the Git command line or the GitHub Desktop app. If you're using GitHub Desktop make sure you have it installed from here.
• you have some kind of text editor. We recommend VSCode, install it here

Steps

1. Clone this repository. Click the green Code button.
   • GitHub desktop: click Open with GitHub Desktop and that should take you to the desktop application and ask where to save things. Once you're done hit Clone.
   • Git command line: run git clone <url> where <url> is the HTTPS url of the repo in the input box.
2. Create a branch named <netid> with your NetID.
   • GitHub desktop: Do CMD+N or click the Current Branch tab on top and then New Branch.
   • Git command line: git checkout -b <netid>
3. Open the repository in your text editor.
   • GitHub Desktop: click Open with VSCode
   • Git command line, navigate to the folder you cloned the repo in and open it in VSCode or your favorite text editor
4. Create a file named <netid>.md where <netid> is your Cornell NetID.
5. Copy the contents of my474.md into your new file. This is Megan's profile information but you'll populate it with your information :)
6. Remove all of Megan's information (but keep the labels!) and enter your information instead. Don't forget to save!
7. Add and commit your changes.
   • GitHub Desktop: fill in the commit message (input box with default text Update README) and click the blue Commit to <netid>. The Description input is optional.
   • Git command line: run git add <netid>.md and then git commit -m "<msg>" where <msg> is your commit message
8. Push your changes.
   • GitHub Desktop: Click Publish branch button on the top tabs.
   • Git command line: git push -u origin <netid>
9. Create a pull request
   • GitHub Desktop: Click the Create pull request button.
   • Go to https://github.com/HackOurCampus/git-workshop and (if you are logged in) you should see a prompt in yellow with your branch name and a green button compare and pull request. Click that.
10. Fill out pull request
    • Add a title and description on the web interface! Be sure the title has your name and netid :)
11. Wait for @meganyin13 approval review! 👩🏻‍💻
12. Once you've received approval, click squash and merge.

Congrats!! 🚀

You have now learned the Git workflow and created a pull request (PR)! See you at the hackathon!
