Instructions

Part 1: Create a remote Github repo

1. Sign into Github or create an account if you haven't done so already

2. Check the + icon to the left of your profile on the main page

3. Choose 'new repository'

4. Select yourself as the owner and give the repo the name 'hello-world'

5. Make it public. Ignore the other options.

6. Click 'Create Repository'

Part 2: Link your local Git repo to your Github repo

1. In the page you opened copy the repo url in the Quick Setup section. For me this looks like https://github.com/AloofBuddha/hello-world.git

2. Use git remote ... to associate the url with your local git repo

3. use git push ... to push the branch main to your new remote Github repo (origin)

4. Make a new commit and push that as well.

5. Confirm the changes are reflected on the Github page representing your repo.

Part 3: Pull Request

1. Create a new feature branch dev on your local repo and make some changes and commit them

2. Push this branch to origin

3. Go to the associated Github page and click the alert to intitiate a Pull Request to pull the changes from dev into main

4. Now that you have merged the pull request, the main branch on the origin (Github) has changes the main branch on your local git repo (on your computer) does not. Checkout the main branch and run git pull to get the most recent changes on main from Githb.

Part 4: Bonus

• add a README.md file locally and push it to remote. Github will display this file below the contents of the repo like a 'home page' explaining what the repo is for.
