Git Introduction
Create an account on github,com and then follow the instructions in the Hello World tutorial (https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world), where you will learn how to:
- Create and use a repository
- Start and manage a new branch
- Make changes to a file and push them to GitHub as commits
- Open and merge a pull request
Once you have completed the tutorial, please:
(a) Create a new branch of your repository called sugarlabs.
(b) Edit the README.md file to include the phrase., "Hello Sugar Labs". along with some personal message that includes your name.
(c) Commit the change;
(d) Make a pull request for the change.
(e) Merge that branch back to your master branch.
(f) When you are done, please upload the URL to your repository to complete this task.
Note that this is essentially the same workflow you will use for most of the coding tasks. Rather than creating a new repository, you will often be making a clone of an existing repository to which you will make your changes. Your pull requests will be to the original repository. Sugar Labs community members will do the final merge, but your task will be complete once a mentor has signed off on your pull request.
