Welcome to intro-about-github!

This repository is designed for practice and learning purposes.

Lecture Notes:

• Introduction to Version Control and GitHub.
• Understanding version control and its importance.
• Github Authentication or First-Time Usage Commands
• Introduction to Git and GitHub.
• Creating a GitHub account.
• Initializing a repository.
• Basic Git commands (clone, status, add, commit, push, pull).
• Collaborative workflows (fork, branch, pull request).

Git/Github Authentication:

For first-time usage, we need to configure authentication for our Git account. To do this, we use the following commands:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Note:

• "Your Name" represents the name you want to display on commits in your repositories.
• "[email protected]" is the email associated with your GitHub account.

Workflow:

• Introduction to Git and GitHub:
  Initializing a repository

1. git clone    
4. git status   
5. git add .    
6. git commit -m "name"     
7. git push origin main     
8. git pull origin main     

Scenarios

1) 2 Different Files Changes | -> auto-merge | :q for quiting the warning window

if 2 or more persons working on the same repo. Person 1 pushed the code, and Person 2 is coding in his folder and wants to push the code, then a 'rejected' warning will be shown:

in this case, Person 2 should pull the code first and then push its own code.

2) Same File Changes | manual-merge:

if 2 or more persons working on a same repo in same file. Auto-Merge failed in this case, so maually accept the changes and after accepting, add, commit and push the code.

Github Branches:

                  [Main-Branch]
                        |
            [Dev-Branch OR Test-Branch]
                 |                |
        [Design-Branch]    [Backend-Branch]
