At a Glance
In this guided project, you will set up a GitHub account, then create and modify a repository on your GitHub page. You will also create and edit a new branch of this repository, then merge the changes into your main branch.
GitHub is a popular online hosting service for repositories, which are copies of an entire project, including its revision history. All files in a repository reside in branches, or separate lines of development. Teams designate one branch as the main branch, the one that stores the finished, deployable code. Users create separate branches to work on new features or edit existing code, then integrate these changes into the main branch.
You will then discover how to use GitHub’s branching system to update a repository. You will add a new branch to your repository. This branch starts as an exact copy of the repository’s main branch. You will add a file to the new branch, then commit this change to the branch. Next, you will issue a pull request (PR), a mechanism by which you notify others that your changes are ready for review. After reviewing these changes, you will merge them into your main branch.
