Introduction to GitHub
Teacher: Nimra
Objective: To introduce GitHub and its different concepts:
1. Creating a file in a new repository.
2. Creating new branches
3. Merging files from sub-branches into the master branch
4. Understand the concept of “Pull Request”
5. Visualizing the branch status using the “Network graph” option of GitHub.
Instructions:
1. You will attach the screen shot of each step where ever it is required.
2. You can use the “Snipping Tool” software to capture the screen shot. This is built-in in
windows. You do not need to install this software.
Guidelines:
1. Create a repository named “My Repo” and check the box of “Add a README file”.
2. Add any description to your repo.
3. Create a new file named “my_code”. Display your name using the cout command. Press
the “Commit Changes” button. This will save your settings.
4. Attach the Network graph of your repo.
5. Create a new branch named “Roll number”. Attach the screenshot
6. Go to your “Roll number” branch and add a new line in your code where you output your
roll number using the cout command. Attach the network graph at this point.
7. Commit your changes to the Roll number branch and attach the screenshot of your network
graph.
8. Now, commit your changes to the master branch by creating and merging a PULL Request.
Attach the screenshot of you creating and merging the PULL Request from the “Roll
number” branch to Master branch.
9. Attach the final screenshot of your network graph after creating a branch and merging it in
the master branch.
