Fork
The RESOLVE development team uses a git workflow called fork/pull. This workflow is useful because it helps developers stay out of each other's way, supports long-running parallel branches, and encourages code review.
It does, however, require a quick piece of set-up on your part: the fork part.
We assume you have a github account. If you don't, sign up here.
Navigate to the group's upstream repository (it's "upstream" because it's the originating source of most changes that "flow" down to the forks.)
Click the "Fork" button:
You'll get a quick loading screen:
Then you'll be taken to an almost-identical repository screen for your fork:
And you're done! Your forked repository will be a private sandbox where you can make changes and branches without affecting other developers. For where to go from here see our git workflow.
