Create your participant file

[swinton]

Hello workshop participants! 👋

Let's show off how the GitHub Flow works by creating our own participant Markdown files (like my participant file) here in this repository.

Note that we're collaborating in a single shared repo, avoiding the added friction of the Fork & Pull Request model. Because we're simulating an "inside-your-company" environment, we know there's a baseline of trust in the developers to whom we've granted access.

Not to worry, we're still going to take steps to protect the integrity & quality of our master branch. In this case, we're using a combination of protected branches, pull request reviews, and required reviews. This ensures that changes are introduced via pull requests, and are reviewed by one of your peers.

Go ahead and navigate to the participants directory in the repo, then click "Create new file":

After choosing a filename (try using your GitHub username!) and adding some content, make sure to select the "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request." option:
