The following links will provide you with guides (pictures and video) on how to use for OODP, MDP or any other projects basically (Note: The sample project showcased here is a Gradle Java Project , but most of the instructions are generic and works with any languages with the exception of importing cloned repositories)
Take note that the icons beside each link (e.g , or ) denotes which VCS provider or software is relevant for the guide
Being a Version Control System (VCS) and a VCS provider respectively, they allow us to be able to collaborate on the same codebase simultaneously
with support for History (through the Commits system) and conflict resolution
We need an account for SourceTree ? Can I use something else?
YES! However, this guide is catered to SourceTree but other GUI programs will have their own equivalent features. You just have to hunt for them. Or you can always use console 😏
I'm actually interested in the Console Command equivalents of the various tools! How do I find them?
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of each page and I will add the console command equivalent there if available
Why do I see terms such as "origin" or "upstream"?
These terms refers to various repositories that is registered. origin refers to your own repository where you are currently editing your codebase in. upstream refers to the parent repository for a forked repository. A forked repository is the term used for repositories that have been cloned to your own profile
Why do we need to work in branches and do a PR? Can't we just commit directly to Master?
The main reason for working in seperate branches is to allow us to be able to work on the codebase simultaneously without much conflicts (hopefully). It is also done to ensure that
the master branch will always be compilable and bad code does not land there. This is why branch protection exists as well to prevent direct pushes
