Managing Files On GitHub Using Git Bash In Real-Time Scenario - Know About GitHub Reviewer

Introduction

 
In my previous article, we discussed the steps of owner added files using git bash in the main branch in-depth and how to clone the uploaded project of GitHub repo for testing purposes. In this real-time series of articles, we discuss steps to push, pull and clone repository files to GitHub by team members using Git Bash under Organization. Here one member will add reviewers to review its pushed files by creating a pull request. In one scenario, the reviewer finds the issue or unwanted files and information to the user by adding comments on that particular pull request. After solving these issues by the user, the user again pushes the changes, creates a pull request for the latest changes, and then it will be merged to the main branch.
 
Today, I will describe the below-mentioned points in detail,
  1. satyaCsgithub member will identify account using author identity
  2. satyaCsgithub member will clone the GitHub project and create a new branch
  3. satyaCsgithub member will open and modify the GitHub project
  4. satyaCsgithub member will add, commit and push the changes to the GitHub repo
  5. satyaCsgithub member will create a pull request for the latest changes
  6. The owner will review these changes and ask satyaCsgithub member to fix the issue
  7. satyaCsgithub member will fix the issue and follow the above steps (1 to 5) in sequence
  8. The owner again will review these changes
  9. Finally, the branch of satyaCsgithub member will merge to the main branch for production deployment
  10. The owner will pull the changes in local git from GitHub repo as made by satyaCsgithub member
