Adding and Committing Changes

To add and commit changes in Git, follow these steps:

1. Switch to the feature branch where you want to make the changes. You can use the command git checkout <branch-name> to switch to the desired branch.

2. Make the necessary changes to your code.

3. Stage the changes by using the command git add . to add all modified files, or git add <file-name> to add specific files.

4. Commit the changes with a descriptive message using the command git commit -m "Your commit message".

Pushing Changes

To push your changes to the remote repository, use the command git push origin <branch-name>. This will push your changes to the branch on the remote repository.

Creating a Merge Request

Once you have pushed your changes to the remote repository, you can create a merge request to propose the changes for merging into the main branch. The steps to create a merge request may vary depending on the platform you are using (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).

On platforms like GitHub, you can usually find a “New Pull Request” or “New Merge Request” button on the repository page. Click on it and follow the instructions to create a merge request. Provide a clear title and description for your merge request, explaining the changes you have made.

After creating the merge request, it will be reviewed by the project maintainers or other team members. They will provide feedback and decide whether to accept or reject the changes.

Remember to regularly update your feature branch with the latest changes from the main branch to avoid conflicts during the merge process.
