In this workshop we will use Git, Github, and the command line to learn how to fork projects and follow a common Open Source contribution workflow in preparation for the Lasagna Love: Project Ricotta Hackathon for Women’s History Month!
Getting started with Open Source is an exciting endeavor, but what happens when you realize the workflow that you need to follow to contribute is different from your individual and team projects?
Often contributing to OSS for the first time requires working on your own “fork” of the project and using Git commands that you may not have used before such as “rebase”.
In this workshop, we are going to cover how to go from contributing directly to a repository where you have “push” and “pull” access to contributing to a repository through your own “fork” of the original.
This hands-on workshop will focus on forking, making changes, keeping your repo in sync with the original project as well as submitting and updating your Pull Request.
This is the second step in a series of open source workshops that will help developers that are new to open source prep for their 1st open source contributions to Project Ricotta for Lasagna Love. You should attend Intro to Git, Github & the Terminal or have previous experience with pushing, pulling, branching, and handling merge conflicts before attending this workshop.
Follow our entire series and make your first open source contributions with Girl Develop It and Lasagna Love!
