Any important git-related words are bolded

In this tutorial we're going to simulate what it would be like working on a big, collaborative project. This will involve making changes to the code base, opening up a pull request (PR) and merging your code into the master branch.

To push code changes to a GitHub repository, you must be listed as a collaborator on that repository. Please email me your GitHub username at [email protected] so I can add you as a collaborator to the gittutorial repository.

The process of downloading a repo from a remote server to your local machine is known as cloning.

To clone a repo, first you need to copy the repo's URL as seen below.

Move to where you want to place the project on your local machine using the cd (change directory) command. For instance if you have a 'projects' folder on your desktop, you'd do something like cd ~/Desktop/projects

When you clone a repo, it downloads a brand new folder which contains all the files inside of it (so you don't need to make a specific folder for the project)

Once you're in the location you want to be, in the terminal, use the command:
