Practice with Git

GQ3: add, commit, push and a little pull

Let’s save the changes we’ve made to our resume.


GQ4: Fork and merge

Get into groups of 2 or 3. Then follow the steps below:

  1. fork the other student’s resume repository.
  2. Now clone that forked repository to your computer.
  3. On your local version of the forked repository, do the following:
    A. Create a new file called feedback.md B. Make a few recommendations or notes in the feedback.md file that will help the other student improve his or her resume
    C. add, commit, push your edits
    D. Go to the forked repo on GitHub and check if the feedback.md file shows up online
  4. Now, create a pull request to get your edits into the other student’s original repo.

Once you’ve given another student feedback, accept any pull requests submitted to your own repo. Continue to edit and improve your resume based on the feedback you received.


GQ5: Fork into byuids-resumes

Fork your own resume repository into the BYU-I Data Science Resumes group.

If you change your resume after you create this fork, you will have to submit a pull request to make sure the final version of your resume shows up in the group.

These instructions will help you create a pull request.
