Collaborating on GitHub

If you are completely new to Git, I recommend the introdutory Git course by Udacity first. This course will teach you how to use git on your computer, but not to contribute code to this repository.

If you are comfortable using git locally, but are new to Github, I recommend the follow-up course by the same author, GitHub & Collaboration, also from Udacity. Specifically, the following lectures are very helpful:

• Create a Pull Request
• Stay in Sync with Code Repository
• Commit Squash and Relabel

If you are unable to access the course material, here are some of the made-available videos by the course:

• Pull Requests:
  • Concept
  • How-to
• Stay in Sync with a Remote Repository:
  • Concept
  • Git Rebase
  • How-to

Note the original course material contained not only videos, so they may not be self-contained. Nonetheless, they should at least provide some terminology pointers for self-study.
