C++ Handbook

How to Collaborate:

1. Fork the repository to your own GitHub account.

2. Clone the repository to your local machine

   $ git clone "https://www.github.com/{Username}/CPP-Reference.git"
   

   where username is your GitHub account username.

3. Create a branch where you can do your local work. Never work on master branch as we do not allow master commits except by admins.

   $ git branch {branchname}
   $ git checkout branchname
   

4. Do your work and stage your changes.

   $ git add <filename>
   

5. Commit you changes with a commit message containing your name, file(s) worked upon, changes added.

   $ git commit -m "Name| files| Changes"
   

6. Push changes to your forked repository

   $ git push -u origin branchname
   

Synchronize forked repository with Upstream repository

1. Create upstream as our repository

   $ git remote add upstream "https://www.github.com/NishkarshRaj/CPP-Reference.git"
   

2. Fetch upstream changes in local machine

   $ git fetch upstream
   

3. Switch to master branch

   $ git checkout master
   

4. Merge changes in local machine

   $ git merge upstream/master
   

5. Push changes to your forked GitHub repository

   $ git push -f origin master
