Welcome to the TPEO 2023 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-2023 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 would recommend creating a folder like GitHub_Projects

1. Go onto the main repository's Github page and click the Fork button
2. Clone the repository locally in your project folder of choice by performing

   git clone <your-repo-url>
   

3. We need to set the forked repo's upstream url, allowing you to pull changes from the main, perform

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/tpeo/<REPO_NAME>.git
   

4. Verify that the forked repo has the following remote properties by performing git remote -v

   $ git remote -v
   > origin    https://github.com/<YOUR_GITHUB_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>.git (fetch)
   > origin    https://github.com/<YOUR_GITHUB_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>.git(push)
   > upstream  https://github.com/tpeo/<REPO_NAME>.git (fetch)
   > upstream  https://github.com/tpeo/<REPO_NAME>.git (push)
   

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
   

Suggesting Changes to the Main Repository

We realize that we're not perfect so we would love to hear constructive feedback and you can do so by opening a pull request to the main repository

Optional: Folder Generation Script

This repository contains a script that allows users to easily create new folders for weekly lessons. Navigate to the repo folder and type

source generate.sh <NAME_OF_FOLDER>

We recommend replacing <NAME_OF_FOLDER> with something like "Week_X".
