Create your own branch

The development scheme is based on a stable master branch and a development branch named develop.

Before making changes, create your own branch from develop:

$ cd basic-git-practice
$ git checkout develop # this switches the branch to develop
$ git checkout -b myBranch # this checks out a new branch called myBranch

Make your changes

Copy the file firstnameLastname.md in the folder _attendees and rename it with your first and last names:

$ cd _attendees
$ cp firstnameLastname.md myFirstnameMyLastname.md

Then, make your changes with your favorite editor!

Commit your changes and push

When you are done editing your file, add the file to the stage and commit it:

$ git add myFirstnameMyLastname.md
$ git commit -m "Edit the content of the subpage myFirstnameMyLastname"

Once you are done committing, you can push your branch to your fork:

$ git push origin myBranch

Open a pull-request

If you now browse to your fork on Github, you can open a pull request and submit it for review.

:warning: Please make sure to select develop as the target branch.

:warning: Watch out for comments from the reviewer! If there are things to be changed, simply change locally, commit, and then push again. The pull-request will update automatically.

Once the pull request has been accepted, you will be able to see your page online! :tada:
