Proper Github Workflow

Fork the Repo (original repo) you want to work on to your Github account repo

Press the Fork button (which is on Github.com)

https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo

Explanation: It creates a copy of the Repo to your account.

Clone the Repo on your Github account to local

git clone https://github.com/RGSoCBundler/rgsocbundler.github.io.git

Link the original repo to your local repo so you can pull the latest updates and make sure your copy is in sync with the original repo

cd rgsocbundler.github.io
git remote add upstream https://github.com/RGSoCBundler/rgsocbundler.github.io.git

Create Feature Branch

git checkout -b branch-name

(example: git checkout -b pull-cheatsheet)

(The git checkout -b command automatically switches to the branch)

Check that you are on the correct branch. Make sure there is an asterik next to the branch name.

git branch

Make Your Changes/Fixes/Features and commit it to origin (the repo on your github account)

git add .
git commit -m "write what changes you made"
git push origin pull-cheatsheet

Send a Pull Request - from origin to upstream (your account repo to the original repo)

Click Compare & pull request or the Green button on your Github repository
