GitGoing 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

GitGoing is a beginner-friendly project focused on tracking progress and learning how to use git and GitHub.

Getting Started 🛠️

1. You will need to have git installed on your local machine. You can download it here.

2. Once you have git installed, you will need to configure git. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal.

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "Your Email"

3. Fork the repository by clicking the "Fork" button in the upper right corner of the repository page.

💡 This will create a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.

4. Then, clone the forked repository to your local machine.

    git clone https://github.com/YourHandle/GitGoing.git

Practice the git flow by following the steps below 🚀

Step 1: Create a new branch and switch to new branch

Create a new branch using the following command:

git checkout -b <your-new-branch-name>

Once you create your new branch, you will be switched to that branch with the following command:

git switch <your-new-branch-name>

Step 2: Make changes

You can add a new file, edit an existing file, or delete a file. To keep things simple, let's edit the index.html file by changing the name to "GitGoing-YourLastName" on line 10.

Step 3: Stage your changes

Once you update the name, stage your changes using the following command:

git add .

Or, you can stage the individual file you changed by using the following command:

git add index.html

Step 4: Commit your changes

Commit your changes using the following command:

git commit -m "Your commit message"

Step 5: Push your changes

Push your changes to the remote repository using the following command:

git push origin <your-branch-name>

Step 6: Create a pull request

Create a pull request on GitHub.

Step 7: Review and merge your pull request

Review and merge your pull request on GitHub.

Step 8: Delete your branch

Delete your branch using the following command:

git branch -d <your-branch-name>
