Assignment 1 (20 min)

Read David'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.

If you are working on a collaborative project, you can use GitHub to make sure all of your teammates are working on the most current version of the project.

If you are working on a project by yourself and find yourself at a good stopping point, you would commit all the changes from that session and then push those changes to your repository on GitHub. Things are a little more complicated when you have a team project because multiple people could be simultaneously making changes to the same code. By creating a branch, you can basically create a safe space to work and try things out before fully commiting to the project repository. You'll still be making commits, but just to the branch, not the repo. While working on a branch, you can open a pull request which will open up your commits to discussion. Your teammates can then offer feedback on the branch you are working on. From there, you can edit your branch based on the comments you have received. After that, you can deploy from your branch to test out how it will work. The last step, once your branch has been verified and tested, is to merge your branch with the master.
