This repository is used to test various git functions and document them

Make a new repository from terminal

git init -b <branch_name>
git add .
git commit -m "Comment Here"

If you haven't configured github with Ubuntu. It will give the message,

Author identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

  git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
  git config --global user.name "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

Add commit if you havent already done that because of the error

git commit -m "Your comment"
git remote add origin https://github.com/Pruthvi-Sanghavi/testing_git.git
git remote -v
git push origin devel

Now if you are using the old commit method then your git credentials wont work.

pruthvi@pruthvi:~/testing_git (git: devel)$ git push origin devel 
Username for 'https://github.com': Pruthvi-Sanghavi
Password for 'https://Pruthvi-Sanghavi@github.com': 
remote: Invalid username or password.

In this case, head to your github homepage

Setting > Developer Settings > Personal Access Token > Generate new token

You have to select some rights and permissions and a new token will get generated.\

Copy that token as you see it and save it somewhere as you will not see that again.

Add your account details and boom!

Creating a new branch and commiting the files

Checking a few things like merging without updating the devel(default) branch

This process works ok. You just need to go to the repository and merge the changes.

Merging changes by a contributor
