GitHub
Concepts[edit]
GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration based on Git or respectively an online Git repository. The advantages are:
- backup
- shareability
- web interface
File extension .md for the standard readme file is for the Markdown syntax.
- master (production) (branch)
- feature branch
- merge (feature branch into master)
- fork is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
Pull Requests[edit]
Pull requests are requests to others to review and pull a change in a branch to the master (branch) or any other branch.
