I’ve just started working with a team on git and I wanted a visual of what was going on every time I made a change and needed to checkin some code.

How to create a remote branch and have your friend get it
Here’s a graphic showing one way of creating a remote branch, checking it in locally, pushing it to the remote server, and then having your friend pick it up.
Pull requests
Here Mary developers a new feature locally, then pushes it to here remote branch for others to see.
She then issues a pull request allowing others to view.

Good overview 🙂 I’d just like to add that instead of “git commit -a -m” you can do “git commit -am” – saves a tiny bit of typing!

Hi JR, nice graphic!
One little thing: if you use git add . you don’t need -a in git commit. The -a switch lets you skip git add when there are no new files
