• Creating a fork of an existing repository

  

• Copy a remote repository to your own computer

  git clone <https://github.com/><your-username>/programmer-jokes.git
  

• Create a separate working area in the repository where you can make changes without affecting anyone else

// Create a new branch
git branch my-joke
// Check out all the branches
git branch
// Switch branch
git checkout new-branch-name

• Flag those changes to be saved to the local copy of the repository

// Stash Change
git add file-name

• Save those changes in your local copy of the repository

git commit -m "Commit-Title-Name"

• Synchronize those changes with the remote repository

git push --set-upstream origin destination-branch-name

• Optionally, notify the repository owner that your changes are ready to be reviewed
