local-repo's Introduction

Publishing a Local Repository to Remote

Create local changes and commit them
Create a remote repository on Github and add it to the local repo
```
 git remote add origin <remote_origin_url>
```
Move the main branch to main if it is not already main.
```
git branch -M main 
```
Push the branch to remote and set it to track the remote branch git push -u origin main | git push --set-upstream origin main

Creating pull Requests

Create the new branch for the feature and commit it to the the repository you forked in your account
```
git checkout -b <feature_branch>
```
```
git push -u origin  <feature_branch>
```
After committing the feature branch, a new pull request appears. You can now compare the differences between the the two branches, in this case the PULL-REQUESTS branch and the main branch of the repository you forked from. It uses the git diff command to compare the two branches. It shows files have been added, removed, deleted, changed and so on.
```
   git diff main PUll-REQUESTS 
```
The last step click the Compare and Pull Request. Sending a request to the maintainers or the original author the repo, letting him/her look at your work, analyze it better, either to accept, request for changes or dismiss the request.
A new conversation starts between you and the project collaborators who can start to discuss and look at your work, before accepting or declining the pull Request
During the period of discussion, you and the other project collaborators can change the code to better fit the needs of the project. After that the original repository collaborators with write access can accept it or discard it, closing the Pull Request.
