To switch back to master branch type
$git checkout master
Pull requests
Pull requests
If you fork someone's repository or have multiple branches you will both be working separately. In this case, to merge you changes, you need to send a pull request. This is a feature of github.
$git pull (fetch files from repository, you need to have all files on your computer otherwise there will be error "Updates were rejected. Remote contains work that you do not have locally.")
List files in local git repo
$git rev-parse --show-toplevel
To change top level
$cd ~/dirname
Show current working directory
