Collaborating with Git using GitHub

[HChughtai]

In this exercise, you will work in pairs (within small breakout rooms) to explore how version control is used to collaborate with other people.

To do this, you will clone a remote repository from GitHub that is owned by your partner. As the collaborator, you will then create a new file within your local copy of your partner's repository, commit your changes and push back to the remote on GitHub. Your partner will then pull the changes you introduced.

Setup

• You will need to have created the remote in GitHub for the repository that we have been working on in the workshop
  • There are summary instructions in the HackMD and there is a helper in the breakout room to assist
• Person 1 in your pair starts off as the Collaborator
• Person 2 in your pair starts off as the Owner
