How to hook up a project with collaborators.

Branching

• Important Rules:
  1. Anything on Master is deployable/Something you want to get paid for.
  2. Start branch names with your initials (suggestion, personal preference)

Pull Requests

• When to Make One:

  1. When you need feedback/help
  2. When you want to share ideas/bits of code with your group
  3. When you want to merge changes into master

• Use @mention!

• Fork & Pull vs Shared Repo & Pull

Pull Request Key Words

• Closes #10 will close issue #10 in your issues log (or Waffle card!)
• Closing Issues in Github
• Add notes on specific code by adding specific line numbers
  • Click on "Files changed" and click on specific line to add a comment.

Fixing Things

• git ammend
• git revert <Commit SHA>
  • Creates a new commit that undoes the changes from a previous commit.
  • This command adds new history to the project (it doesn't modify existing history).
• git reset <Last Good Commit SHA>
  • It modifies the index (the so-called "staging area").
  • Or it changes which commit a branch head is currently pointing at.
  • This command may alter existing history (by changing the commit that a branch references).
  • *Preserves the working directory. commits = gone. contents = still on disk
• git reset --hard <Last Good Commit SHA>
  • When you want to undo BOTH commits and the changes in one karate chop)
  • Removes EVERYTHING between now and the commit you specify.
