#Github desktop open fork branch code

To push your changes up to GitHub for others to see:Īfter you have code you want merged into the main DP repository, open a pull request from your fork on GitHub so devs can review your code.In the commit message, the first line should be 50 characters or fewer and summarize the commit then a blank line then lines of 72 characters or fewer with additional details.Group logical changes into one commit via:.Make any changes you want using a standard git workflow:.Create a branch to capture the work you are doing, use a branch name that is descriptive but concise.Note that all of these steps only make changes in your fork, not the main repository, so feel free to play with these commands all you want - you can't break anything. cd into the repo directory, then run the following command to add the primary repository as an 'upstream remote' for your local clone: To get the URL for the upstream repo, go to the repo you forked, click the green 'Clone or download' button, and copy the HTTPS URL it lists. We will want to add a new remote called upstream so you can refresh your fork. Right now your local repo has a remote called origin that points to your fork.When done, it will have created a sub-directory with the name of the repo you cloned, e.g. Depending on your connection speed, the command will take 15 seconds or so to pull down a clone of your repository.

'The authenticity of host can't be established', and your OS may ask you to supply the password associated with the public key that GitHub has for you. Because the command tries to establish an SSH connection to GitHub, you may get some SSH warnings, e.g.Click the green 'Clone or download' button and copy the URL it lists there and run the following in the same shell from step 1.In a browser, go to your fork of the code in GitHub.A ~/git/ directory is common but can be anywhere. Go to the directory/folder in which you want to hold your source code.

Consider using if you don't want your personal email address publicly accessible.Note that these values will be visible publicly: If this is your first time using git on this system, start by configuring git with your name and email address.

On your workstation (e.g., your home computer), open a shell/terminal window.

You only need to do this once per development system. This will create a fork of the code under your GitHub userid, eg: Cloning the repoĪfter the repository is set up, you need to set up the code on your workstation.

After a few seconds, this will take you to your forked copy of the DP repo under your username.

Click on your github username as the location to create the fork.

Go to the DP repo you want to work on and fork the repository by clicking Fork in the upper right.

Be sure that the matching private key is installed on the system from which you will be running the git commands.

Add your public SSH keys to your GitHub account if you haven't done so already.

If you haven't yet, create a GitHub account.

On Windows, you will probably first need to install Git Bash (command window for git commands) from the Git for Windows site.

To get started with a git repo for DP, you have to first create a fork of the code repository under your GitHub user ID.
