Anleitung zur Benutzung unserer Github Organisation

• Launch a terminal.
• Navigate to your projects directory cd ~/MyProjects.
• If your repository already exist on GitHub, get the clone link from the "Clone or Download" button on the GitHub Repository.
• Then, clone your repository by using git clone [your-copied-url]
• Once your repository has cloned, you can change to your project directory cd [your-repository-name]

• Now, make sure you are on the correct branch. You can check this branch using git branch and looking at which branch is marked with an asterisk.
• NOTE: Updating the project from master
  • If you have worked on your project on multiple machines, it is a good idea to update from master before working. To do this, checkout master using git checkout master.
  • Now, make sure your master branch is up to date using git pull.
  • Checkout your working branch using git checkout [working-branch-name]
  • Make sure this branch is up to date with its remote self using git pull
  • You can update your working branch from master using git rebase master
  • You are now up to date and ready to work!
• To create AND checkout a new working branch, use git checkout -b [working-branch-name]
• Now, if your working branch is shown as your active branch, you're ready to get to work!

• Open the code in your editor and begin working. Once you have made a single logical change to the code, it is time to make a commit!
• Save your work before switching to your terminal
• Now, stage your changes using git add .
• Commit your changes locally using git commit -m "[your-commit-message]"
  • Type a brief (55 characters or less) description of the change you made.
  • Example: git commit -m "Create toString method in Student class"
• Now that your commit is made, you can push these changes to the remote GitHub repository using git push
• Repeat this process until your code is complete!
