Create a github branch and merge using command line

1. change into the working directory 

$cd DIRNAME

2. check what branch you are on

$git branch

>> *master       work1

Note that the star signifies the current branch

3. switch to master branch (if necessary) and make sure you are update on the master branch

$git checkout master 

if you are not on master branch, this switches you to the master branch

$git pull

this updates the master branch

4.create a new branch 

$ git checkout -b newBranch

this creates a new branch named “newBranch”, and switches to it

5. push the git push 

git push origin newBranch

6. set upstream of the branch

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/branch name

7. work on that branch for a while

8. add the work

$git add .

It adds all work

7.commit the work

$git commit -m “the commit message”

It commits the work, and creates a commit message

8.check the git status

$git status 

check to make sure the branch is clean

9. switch to master branch again and make sure it’s updated 

$git checkout master

$git pull

10. switch to newBranch and merge master

$git checkout newBranch

$git merge master 

11. push it to github

$ git push

13. on the github website compare and review

14. on the github website create a pull request
