An introduction to Github for Siena's SCDV 490: Group Projects in Data Science course
This exercise should be done in guidance with the instructor
From your git command line,
git clone https://github.com/mattbellis/SCDV-490-Github-intro-S23.git
Fire up a jupyter-notebook environment in this new SCDV-490-Github-intro-S23 directory.
Open up test_demo_tools_A.ipynb and go through the exercise. Make sure you read everything carefully.
Just kidding...you can't push your changes because
- You are not the owner of this repository
- You are not a collaborator
- You did not fork the repository
Let's try this again, but we will fork the repository.
Fork this repository, following the more general instructions given here
https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo
Make sure you sync the fork with the upstream repository
Delect the previous directory that you cloned, SCDV-490-Github-intro-S23.
Then clone your fork from your Github page for the fork.
Edit the names.py file and fix yours (and only yours!) information.
Commit and push your changes
git commit -m "YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE HERE" name.py
git push
Make a pull request for me (the original author) by following the instructions here
Fetch the upstream changes (once the instructor has approved all the pull requests) by following the information here for the command line
Create a new text file from the jupyter dashboard. Name it YOURLASTNAME.txt and put some text in it about how you think the class is going (*remember...this text will be visible to your peers and the world!).
Add this file to the repo, otherwise it won't get pushed to github. Then commit your changes and push.
git add YOURLASTNAME.txt
git commit -m "YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE HERE" YOURLASTNAME.txt
git push
Make a pull request for your new file
Break up into pairs. Each of you should
- Create a new repo
- Add a couple of files in there
- Share the name of the repo with your partner
- Each of you should
- Fork your partners repo
- Make some edits to their file
- Make a pull request for them
