- Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below. GitHub works as a central repository to store your code. In a collaborative environment it works through a series of pushes and pulls that developers can make changes to and push back into the central repositories with snapshots of previous versions. If a developer wants to change the code they will pull it from GitHub to their local machine, make their changes, add the file to Git, commit it, and then push it back into GitHub with notation of their changes.
