If you are a member of the Valenzano lab and are interested in actively contributing to the lab website, please do the following:
- get your own github account
- familiarize yourself with git, version control and markdown
- request to Dario to add you as a collaborator on this repo.
Once you are a collaborator on this repo, you can contribute to improving its content by issuing pull requests.
username$ git status
username$ git add .
username$ git commit -m "description of changes"
username$ git push -u origin main
username$ git branch -a # to list all your current branches
username$ git checkout master # to switch to the branch 'master'
username$ git checkout -b develop # creates a new branch named 'develop'
Now you can commit and push changes on 'develop'
username$ git checkout develop # puts you in the 'develop' branch in case you're not there
username$ git add .
username$ git commit -m "whatever" # commits your changes to the branch 'develop'
username$ git push -u origin develop # pushes your commits to the remote branch 'develop'
username$ git branch -a
username$ git checkout master
username$ git merge develop
username$ git push
username$ git push -d origin develop # in this case we're deleting the branch 'develop'
username$ git branch -d develop
As a rule-of-thumb, do not push your changes to the 'master' branch.
Rather, first push your changes to a remote branch, like 'develop', and only then merge on the 'master' branch following the instructions above.
