Anime-Website

To create an Social Media platform for anime nerds !

Getting Started :

  • Fork this repository into your profile. Fork

  • Clone it on local machine.

git clone <your repository's url>
  • Set this repository as upstream.
git remote add upstream https://github.com/ParitoshGavali/Anime-Website.git
  • Check the status of origin and upstream.
git remote -v

Help, I can't understand this origin/upstream BS!! 😵

  • origin refers to the GitHub repository you cloned from.
  • upstream refers to the other GitHub repository you want to pull or push changes to.
  • So, after entring the above command you should see forked git repo in origin and this git repo in upstream.

PRO TIP 😎 : origin is set automatically by git but the upstream is just a convention used by almost all git users, so you can use any name instead of upstream.

Now you are ready to code 🤩
Just kidding! 😞
Read the next topic and then I promise that you will be ready to start (or maybe not 😜)

How to collaborate :

  • Before making any change make sure that your are using the latest version of the branch for this , first fetch the changes from upstream and then and them merge whichever upstream branch you want to merge with your branch
  • command for fetching from upstream :
 git fetch upstream
  • now for merging :
 git merge <your_branch_name> upstream/<branch_you_want_to_merge_with>
  • Now You can start working on your feature but before that make sure that you are on correct branch!!
  • After completing feature, you have to push your changes and you will get NOTHING. Because you first have to add the changes you made so that git can understand which modified files you want to push (change the original content to your modified content). For that there is a two step process :
  • Adding the files you want to push
git add <File_path>

PRO TIP 😎 : for checking what s#it 💩 you have added fixed in all the files

git status
  • For owning your own s#it 💩 (commiting changes) you write
git commit -m 'Your_commit_message'
  • Now you can finally display your talented coding skills to others by uploading your commit to your repository by the command
 git push
  • Now you can go to your git repo (remote fork) and create a pull request

PRO TIP 😎 : for checking the PR (pull request) created by others , you can check it in your local machine by following command

  git fetch upstream pull/<PR_NO>/head : <branch_name_you_like>

this will create a branch in your local machine with name <branch_name_you_like>.Now checkout to this branch and do your s#it 💩

Some more commands :

  • To check the status of files (tracked / untracked) git status

  • To check the current branch git branch

  • To switch to different branch , say branch B git checkout B

  • To delete a branch locally (first switch to branch you don't want to delete) git branch -d <branch_name_you_want_to_delete>

  • To remove your local changes in a pulled branch git reset --hard
