Pull Requests

When you are completely done editing, you need to get your local changes (in YOUR repository) to the remote repository, which is the live Campus History site that everyone sees. A pull request in this context is like asking me, as owner of the Campus History repository you forked, to “pull” into the main repository the changes you made in your (local) repository. If I like your changes, I will “accept” the request and if I don’t I will “reject” them. But this process prevents mistakes and bugs.

How to create a pull request

• Go to the homepage of YOUR Campus History repository, and click the Pull Request nav link near the top.
• Click the Green New Pull Request button.
• GitHub will show you what changes you are making, line by line (a whole paragraph counts as a line). Verify that the changes are correct.
• Click the Green Create Pull Request button.
• You should see near the top a green message that says Able to merge. If you don’t see that, you should just stop and let me know in class.
• Otherwise, click the Green Create Pull Request button.

You’re done!

After you make the pull request, there’s nothing else to do! If you notice that you missed a typo or something you can always make another change and another pull request. Thank you for all of your hard work!
