Body

I made changes to my repository. How can my colleague download these changes through the git bash console, and how can he make changes to my repository? Please explain from start to finish.

I used these commands, but nothing helped. git init git remote add origin git fetch origin git remote add master git push -u origin master

step 1: You, the project owner pushes your local project to GitHub properly

git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/JasonsS2113/Horror-5.6.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master

step 2: Your colleague clones your repo

git clone https://github.com/JasonsS2113/Horror-5.6.git
cd Horror-5.6

step 3: Your Colleague Makes Changes

git add .
git commit -m "Some update"

step 4: Your Colleague Pushes Changes Back (Requires Permission). To push changes, your colleague needs write access to your repository.
You Add Them as a Collaborator
*Go to your repo on GitHub.
*Click Settings > Collaborators & teams.
*Add your colleague's GitHub username.
*They will receive an invitation. After they accept it, they will have push access.

Then your colleague can push:

git push origin master

step 5: If You Update Code and They Want to Pull New Changes

git pull origin master
This pulls your latest updates from GitHub.

To get your repository changes, your colleague first clones it using git clone [repo_url]. Subsequently, they'll pull your latest updates with git pull origin main. To contribute, they'll make changes, then stage them with git add ., commit locally via git commit -m "message", and finally push them to the shared repository using git push origin main.

To allow your colleague to download your changes and contribute to your repository, you need to do these steps:

1. You (Repo Owner): Push Your Local Repo to GitHub
   From your local folder:

# Only needed if you haven’t already initialized the repo
git init  
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

# Set remote origin and push to GitHub

git remote add origin https://github.com/JasonsS2113/Horror-5.6.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

2. Your Colleague: Clone the Repo
   On their machine:

git clone https://github.com/JasonsS2113/Horror-5.6.git
cd Horror-5.6

This will download your entire repo with all commits and files

3. Your Colleague: Make and Push Changes

# Make changes to files
git add .
git commit -m "Describe the change"
git push origin main  # Or create a new branch and push: git push origin feature-branch

If the main branch is protected, they should open a pull request on GitHub after pushing their branch
