General Instructions

Before each Lesson

Merge your pull request from the previous lesson (if you haven't already):

Checkout your main branch and pull changes:

git checkout main
git pull

Create a new local branch to work on separate from the main branch:

Note: Replace <branch> with your new branch name (ex. lesson-1-1)

git checkout -b <branch>

Now, open the project directory in your code editor and begin the lesson.

Check the status of your local repository to double-check the changes you made:

git status

Stage the file(s) that you edited:

git add .

Check the status again and notice that the changes from before are now staged:

git status

Create a commit for the changes you made and add a message describing the changes you made:

Note: Replace <message> with your message

git commit -m "<message>"

Push your commit to the remote repository (visible in GitHub):

git push

Check the log to make sure your commit has been published:

git log --oneline
