Assignment 1 (30 min)

Read Turing Instructor David Whitaker's article on Git and GitHub

• Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below.

From my understanding, the collaborative git workflow would start with a master copy of a project. From there, each person in your group could pull from that master version, and create their own branches. I would assume that each person would most likely take on one portion of the project, and work on that part in their local repo. Once they make changes to the local repos, they can then add it to the staging area, review if needed, and then commit their changes. Once the group is at a point of collaboration, they could view each branch, make edits if needed, and then push the local repos to the master version. This workflow allows many different opportunities to review for bugs before and after you merge the versions, making it much easier to find bugs/return to different versions of the project if need be.
