During this exercise, we will be walking through the process of working with Git and Github.
The steps for submitting your assignments using Git & Github are detailed here
1) Fork this US states repository located on Github.com
2) Clone the Repository using Github Desktop
3) Save the local copy of the repository in your FEWD/github folder
4) Open the project in Atom and fix the spelling errors found in index.html; save your work.
5) Commit your changes using Github Desktop. Use the following commit message: “Fixed spelling errors”
6) Push your changes to Github using Github Desktop
7) Confirm that your changes were pushed by viewing your repository’s “commit history” on Github.
8) The states should be in alphabetical order. Go back to your project in Atom and ensure the state names are listed alphabetically. Save your work.
9) Commit your changes using Github Desktop. Use the following commit message: “Ordered state names alphabetically”.
10) Push your changes to Github using Github Desktop
11) Confirm that your changes were pushed by viewing your repository’s “commit history” on Github.
12) Next you will be submitting your work comments, make Pull Request, the title of the pull request should be “Fixed issues spelling and order issues”
13) You just found out that you also need to add the 5 U.S. territories to the list (why didn’t these idiots tell me this the first time?? 😒 )
Go back to your project in Atom and add the 5 U.S. territories. Save your work.
15) Commit your changes using Github Desktop. Use the following commit message: “Added 5 U.S. territories”.
16) Push your changes to Github using Github Desktop
17) Confirm that your changes were pushed by viewing your repository’s “commit history” on Github.
18) Observe, that you do not need to submit another Pull Request since your current Pull request is still “Open”.
Any commits pushed to a remote repository after a Pull Request has been made will be added to the existing Pull Request as long as it is still in an Open state
