Git & GitHub Workshop

1Install Git

Make sure you have Git installed on your computer. You can download it from git-scm.com.

Verify your installation by running:

git --version

2Install Github CLI

To make our life easier, we will use Github CLI to handle git login and authentication with Github. You can download it from cli.github.com.

Verify your installation by running:

gh --version

3Create a GitHub Account

If you don't have a GitHub account yet, create one at github.com/join.

4git authentication

Authenticate with Github using the following command:

gh auth login

First, fork the repository to your GitHub account:

Click on the "Fork" button in the top right corner of the repository page. Accept and continue.

---

Then clone the forked repo so that we can work on it. Cloning creates a local copy of the repository on your computer.

git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/workshop.git
cd workshop

1Create a New Branch

It's a good practice to create a new branch for your changes:

git checkout -b mybranch

Replace mybranch with a descriptive branch name.

2Add Your Name to the Contributors List

Open the contributors.md file and add your name to the list:

## Contributors

- [Your Name 👍](https://github.com/yourusername)

Save the file after making your changes.

3Check Your Changes

See what files you've modified:

git status

Review the changes you've made:

git diff

1Stage Your Changes

Add the new files created to the staging area:

git add contributors.md

Or to add all changed files:

git add .

we can skip this step because we didn't create any new files.

2Commit Your Changes

Save your changes with a descriptive commit message:

git commit -m "Add [Your Name] to contributors list"

3Push Your Changes

Upload your changes to GitHub:

git push origin add-your-name

Replace add-your-name with the name of your branch.

1Go to your forked repository on GitHub

Open your web browser and navigate to your repository repository on GitHub.

Click on the "Contribute" button and then "Open pull request".

2Create a New Pull Request

You should see a prompt to create a pull request for your recently pushed branch. If not:

1. Click on the "Pull requests" tab
2. Click the "New pull request" button
3. Select your branch from the "compare" dropdown
4. Click "Create pull request"

3Fill in the Pull Request Details

Add a title and description for your pull request:
