Hi Charles,
Here [1] is a page I created, which translates the English "I want
to do . using Git" into the actual git cryptic commands (using clear
terms).
This is work in progress; while working on Drill, whenever I get stuck
on some "how to do" git issue, I add the findings there
Someone (even wiser) said to me : If git is your only problem when working
on open source, then you're doing great.
More seriously though, it is important to know git, especially if you have
committer privileges. And no matter how conversant you are with git, it
always helps to read this page
Hi Charles,
As someone who struggled though learning these topics over the last few years,
I'd point out that there is no right way to do this stuff. You can use the Git
command line tools, You can use a UI. You can keep branches locally, or publish
everything to GitHub. As Parth wisely noted
All,
Speaking as a non-developer, I wonder if it might be helpful to put
instructions on the CONTRIBUTING.md file that explain how to:
1. Rebase a branch
2. Squash commits
I know for developers these things seem trivial, but for non-developers or
people who don’t work with git on a regular
