Welcome to the TPEO 2024 Full Stack Curriculum!

Fork Environment

This repository will be using a fork structure, meaning that fellows will commit to their own local respository while pulling new weekly content from this one. Weekly content will be updated on the master branch, but a copy of all previous week's content will be available via branches.

**Note: From now on we will be referring to the tpeo/full-stack-curriculum-2024 project as the main repo and other repositories as the forked repo.

Forking the Repository

Navigate to a directory where you'd like to keep all your projects. If you haven't already, we recommend creating a folder like TPEO or GitHub_Projects.

Steps to Fork and Clone the Repository:

1. Go to the main repository's GitHub page and click the Fork button.

2. Clone the repository locally in your project folder of choice by running the following command:

   git clone <your-repo-url>

3. Change into the directory where the cloned repo is located by running:

   cd <your-repo-name>

4. Set the forked repo's upstream URL, allowing you to pull changes from the main repository:

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/tpeo/full-stack-curriculum-2024.git

5. Verify that the forked repo has the following remote properties by running:

   git remote -v

   You should see the following output:

   > origin    https://github.com/<YOUR_GITHUB_NAME>/full-stack-curriculum-2024.git (fetch)
   > origin    https://github.com/<YOUR_GITHUB_NAME>/full-stack-curriculum-2024.git (push)
   > upstream  https://github.com/tpeo/full-stack-curriculum-2024.git (fetch)
   > upstream  https://github.com/tpeo/full-stack-curriculum-2024.git (push)

How to Check Your Current Directory

To see what directory you're currently in, you can run the following command in your terminal:

• For Mac/Linux:

  pwd

  This prints the full path of your current working directory.

• For Windows:

  cd

  Running cd without any arguments will display the current directory path.

This will help you ensure that you're in the right directory before running Git commands!

Commiting Changes To the Forked Repository

1. Add files

   git add <files> 
   

2. Commit changes

   git commit -m "<YOUR MESSAGE HERE>"
   

3. Push

   git push origin main 
   

Pulling Changes From Main Repository

You should pull approximately every week when new content arrives. These steps will involve merging the main repository's main branch with a forked repository's main branch

1. Make sure you are on the appropriate branch

   git checkout main  
   

2. Fetch Content from Main Repository

   git fetch upstream
   

3. Merge Upstream with current local branch

   git merge upstream/main
