Assignment 1 (30 min)

• Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below.

Im going to start on the local machine or local repository. Any folders or files that have been changed or modified now can be commited to change using git. Those changes have now been stored and the working tree is clean. Now those changes, along with their commit messages, can be added to the remote repository to be shared with others. Others can then take a look at those changes and pull them into their local repositories. These other contributors can make their own changes to folders or files and commit them to their local repos and then push them to the remote repository. All changes from any contributor is stored in the remote repo to be pulled by others. This way different people can work on separate portions of a project and store all changes in a remote repository for others to see/edit their changes.
