Fork
Fork means cloning a repository from other and continue to work on it by yourself. It may or may not merge back to original depending on your need.
To fork a repository on Github, simply click on the top right Fork button. You will given a list for selecting destination of your fork.
After that, you would have your own copy of the repository.
Basic Branching
A branch in Git is simply a lightweight movable pointer to one of these commits. The default branch name in Git is master . As you start makingcommits, you’re given a master branch that points to the last commit you made. Every time you commit, it moves forward automatically.
After cloning the repository to local computer, you could create a new branch for development. To create a new branch, we use git checkout command. Here is an example usage of this command. It would create a new branch with name iss53 in your local repository.
git checkout -b iss53
After you did some changes and committed, you could push your local branch to remote by the following command.
git push -u origin iss53
Basic Merging
After you have completed a single feature of your system, the repository maintainer would merge your commit to the master branch for deployment.
To merge commits from branch iss53, please issue the following commands.
git checkout master
git merge iss53
After that, you would push the master branch to Github for deployment.
git push -u origin master
