My workflow for solo Github work

Create Branch from another repo

Clone your branch you just made from your repos

• cd into directory you want to clone the repo into
• git clone
• cd
• git status

Create local working branch from local master branch

• git branch (creating a local branch)
• git status (will still be in master)
• git checkout
• git status (now in the branch that was just made)

Change some stuff in a file in the branch

• git status (shows what isnt in the staging area to be committed)

• git add

• git status (shows file is now staged to be committed)

• git commit -m "comment for your commit" (commits the file(s))

• git log (lists history of commits)

files are now committed to out local branch we created

Pushing from our working local branch to our repo origin

• git push -u origin (pushed our local branch to the origin)

on github.com: open a pull request for what we just pushed up (this is where people could comment and colab on what you pushed up)

merge pull request

• git checkout master

• git pull (pulls any new changes for master)

• Misc.

• git add . (adds all files in local repo to be committed, also will add the folders within repo respectively)
