GitGood-GitPush

Here we'll walk through a simple example of pushing to GitHub!

Step 1: Forking this repository!

We'll need to fork this repository so we can add changes to it!

If you need to, you can follow the instructions in this repo, or check out this video if you prefer a video walkthrough!

We'll need to add a file, or make changes to a file (I'd suggest adding your name to the README.md, or something similar!)

I'd recommend these steps:

Open the README.md in your favourite text editor - I'd use nano README.md if you're not sure!
Add your name to the bottom of the README.md under the "## Your Names Here" heading.
Use the commands CTRL+O, press enter/return to save the file with the same name, and then CTRL+X to exit!
After that, you're good to git add README.md to stage the changes you just made!
Once you've staged the changes (you can use git status and verify the README.md appears in green text to confirm the changes are staged) you can commit them using the command `git commit -m "Adding my name to the README.md!"
Now we're ready to move on to pushing those changes!

All that is left to do is push those changes - you can do this by following these steps:

Since we cloned our forked repository, it'll already have a reference to our remote fork - which will be called origin. Thanks to how clever the git tool is, all we need to do is: git push and our changes will appear on GitHub.com on our fork! That's really it!
If you prefer to be specific (and it's never a bad thing to want to be!) you could also use the full command: git push origin main!

That's it! You're done! You just forked a repo, made a change, and then pushed it to GitHub.com!
