Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

Useful Git commands

Latest changes from repo to your machine

npm v3.10 - ◾

If you are learning npm then i would suggest to go for yarn, dont waste your time in learning npm

⚠️ This gist is outdated, but most of the commands are still relevant.

Update npm itself

npm install -g npm
# Downgrade to a specific version

Edit: I see that each post in the series now has index, previous and next links. However, they don't follow a linear flow through all the articles with some pointing back to previous posts effectively locking you in a loop.

Here's an example of how to debug Mocha v4 if it hangs.

Ensure you're using a Node.js 8 or newer (or any version with async_hooks support).

If you run your test, you'll notice it hangs:
