Linux-Troubleshooting

As a summer project from geekhaven IIITA

How to get started

Steps :

• Create a fork of the project
• Clone the fork on your system ( using git clone <link to the repo> )
• On your fork , first check which branch you're on ( make sure you're on the branch everyone's working on , in this case master branch ) , using the command git branch
• Then create a branch from that branch ( development ) , using git checkout -b <branch_name>. e.g. - If you're working on notifications , make a branch named suppose notification-issue Then you would be doing it like this : git checkout -b notification-issue
• After you've done some work and wish to save it then commit those files , I prefer pycharm , it has a good versioning system.
• Before pushing a repo you need to define where the repo is to be pushed, it's called remote-url , for more details check here. Check the output of this command git remote -v If you have downloaded it from your fork , you would get something like this

origin  https://github.com/user/<your-repo>.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/user/<your-repo>.git (push)

You will always be pushing to your own repo ( cause you don't have write access to my repo ) and then make a new PR for the same.

When an issues is complete , go to the terminal and from the repo's root directory make a push statement , like this :

git push -f origin <the_branch_name> e.g. - git push -f origin notification-issue

A new branch would be created on your repo ( if it didn't already existed ) or it will be updated ( if it already existed )

Then make a new PR for the same.
