Setup Starter Repo

  1. Open your Linux shell.
  2. Define your project teams.
  3. Team: Choose a team lead.
  4. Team Lead: Fork the starter repo. Choose a name for it: solar-system, for example.
  5. Team Lead: Invite your team as collaborators to solar-system.
  6. Whole Team, including Team Lead: Clone your team lead's repo (do NOT fork it!).
  7. Run these commands to set up some handy aliases...
cd solar-system
source bin/git-aliases.sh
adog
  1. Create a Personal Access Token, following these instructions. You can use "Classic", and choose "repo" scope. Copy the token and save it somewhere safe. This is the password you'll use from the git command line when pushing.

Checkpoints:

✅ Everyone (including team lead) has cloned their team lead's forked repo (and NOT the original walquis/git-basics-starter-repo).

✅ Everyone has their aliases working. (Check by running adog as shown above).

✅ Everyone has created a Personal Access Token (PAT) and saved it.
