A step-by-step guide to collaborating on Github for printf

In this post, I outline the steps to collaboratively set up and populate a repository, particularly focusing on integrating partners and working together. This process is crucial for efficient teamwork and version control on the project.

1. Create the Repository

Start by initiating a new repository on GitHub, then create the repository with an appropriate name and description.

1. Add Partner as a Collaborator

Invite your partner to join the repository as a collaborator. This step varies depending on the platform you're using. Collaborators typically have read-and-write access to the repository, enabling them to contribute to the project.

Yayyyyyyyy... Collaborator added 😊

1. For the Collaborator Integration Steps

a. Clone the repository, Do not FORK

b. Change Directory to the 'printf' Repository: Navigate to the local repository folder.

c. git pull

1. Collaborative File Addition and Commit

a. Either You or Your Partner Can:

i. Execute 'git pull': Pull any recent changes from the remote repository

ii. Create Necessary Files

iii. Add Changes Using 'git add': Stage the created files for commit git add.

iv. Commit Changes with Message: Commit the staged changes with an informative message: git commit -m "Group Project: Added printf files"

v. Push Changes Using 'git push'

By following these detailed steps, you will ensure a seamless collaborative process in setting up and populating a repository while maintaining version control and clear communication between partners.
