-
First, fork the repo. See that button that says fork? Press that.
-
Okay, so now you have your very own git repo! How can you get that repo on your account? Well you've got to
clonethe repo.
So: go to your new repo.
There should be a url that looks like this:
https://github.com/$username/IntroToGit.git
On your terminal, run a git clone command, like so:
git clone [url goes here]
You'll be prompted for your password, but don't worry, it's HTTPS!
-
Git will download the files and place them in a new directory, called
IntroToGit -
It's good practice to have a separate branch for each new feature, so create one now.
-
On that branch, make your changes. Add a new file in
names/with your name. -
Stage your changes and commit them.
-
Now push them up to your fork.
-
Once you've done that, click the button that says "Compare and pull request", and create a pull request to add your changes to the Redbrick repo.
If you've managed to do all that, try and figure out why our tests are failing and file a
Pull Request to fix them. git bisect might help you find out when it failed.
