Now that you've learned the benefits of Version Control and gotten Git installed, it's time you learn how to create a repository.
Knowing how to review an existing Git repository's history of commits is extremely important. You'll learn how to do just that in this lesson.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to fork another developer's project. Collaborating with other developers can be a tricky process, so you'll learn how to contribute to a public project.
Learn the importance of well documented code and see how to craft meaningful READMEs.
Use your local git repository and your GitHub repository. Fork a repository, work on files, stage files and commit them to GitHub. You will also demonstrate how to hide files using .gitignore files.
