Welcome, poetry archivists! Tonight our objective is to build out the world's premiere collection of poems, all hosted and stored with Git and GitHub.
Find a typo in this repository. It's there, if you look hard enough.
Create a new file in robert_frost_the_road_not_taken.txt. Fill it in with
the Robert Frost poem.
Have one group member make a new branch. Call it more-poetry.
Fill in the rest of the Emily Dickinson poem, since it's missing much of its text. Yes, you may use Google.
Push the new branch to GitHub, and on the web site, open a Pull Request
from that branch back to master.
Review the changes and when the both of you agree, click "Merge".
Both partners should again synchronize their local repositories.
With two cloned versions of this repository, get a merge conflict happening by editing the 2nd line of the 1st stanza of Emily Dickinson's "Hope" is the thing with feathers. Have both members make their changes locally and committed.
Have one group member push their change, then have the second group member synchronize (pull) the change down.
How do you resolve the conflict? Resolve the merge, commit the merge, then push the merge back up.
Add poems to your poem collection! Push the new poems to your GitHub repository. Be creative, find some of your favorites, or add your own poetry!
Find other groups and share poems with each others repositories by opening Pull Requests from your repository to theirs.
