How github performs code management and version control

Preface

GitHub is a very popular and widely used code hosting platform. Many developers or teams create their own code libraries on GitHub for code management and version control. In the process of making the code available on GitHub, there are several important steps:

1. Create a GitHub account and Fork the project
2. Download the code locally
3. Code modification
4. Submit code to GitHub

The steps and implementation details will be introduced one by one below.

Step 1: Create a GitHub account and Fork the project

If you have not registered an account on GitHub, you can open the GitHub official website (https://github.com/) to register an account. After registration is completed, find the code library you want to use and click the "Fork" button in the upper right corner of the page to copy it to your GitHub account.

Step 2: Download the code locally

On the code library page, click the "Clone or download" button to obtain the download address of the code library. Open a local terminal or command prompt and perform the following operations:

git clone <下载地址>

where <Download Address> is the download address of the code library you copied. This command will successfully download the code base to your local machine.

Step 3: Modify the code

Before modifying the code, you can create your own code branch to improve the maintainability and flexibility of the code. Enter the following command in the terminal or command prompt:

git branch <分支名>

where <branch name> is the name of the branch you created. Then use the following command to switch the current branch to the newly created branch:

git checkout <分支名>

Now you can modify the code. After the modification is completed, use the following command to add and submit:

git add .
git commit -m "提交信息"

where <Submission Information> is the information describing this submission in detail. After completing the code submission, you can use the following command to push the code to your account on GitHub:

git push origin <分支名>

Step 4: Submit the code to GitHub

After you have modified the code and passed the test , you can submit the code to GitHub for use by other developers or teams. Before submitting, please be sure to synchronize the code with the latest version. Use the following command in the terminal or command prompt:

git pull

After synchronizing the latest version, use the following command to push the code to GitHub:

git push

After completing the submission, you can use the GitHub interface View code modification and submission records.

Summary

To use the code in GitHub, you need to first create a GitHub account and Fork the project, download the code locally, modify the code, and submit it to GitHub, etc. A series of steps. During the actual operation, you need to pay attention to details such as the establishment and switching of branches, the detailed and correct description of submission information, etc., to ensure that the code can be successfully uploaded to GitHub.
