Assignment 1 (30 min)

Read Turing Instructor David Whitaker's article on Git and GitHub

• Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below.

A collaborative git workflow can include the use of Git and Github. Git locally and then push your repository to GitHub. Generally, one would do some work and make changes to maybe HTML and a stylesheet they have been working on, at one point in the afternoon one may feel ready to push up the commits done locally to GitHub so that everyone can see. Although it's possible that one is working on a repository where one may not have writing permissions or that it is required a code reviewer to approve and merge in your code. In this case, one would need to create a pull request. When it is a collaborative workplace, they can have multiple branches to work on different features. One of the most important things with the workflow is that it is Version Control System, as bugs do happen, this makes it easier to roll back and see different commits and pinpoint on where the bugs may have been introduced.
