Mr. Crab outlines a git workflow for contributing to projects on GitHub that involves forking a repository, cloning the fork to your local machine, adding the original repository as an upstream remote for synchronization, creating feature branches for new work, and synchronizing your fork with the upstream repository before submitting a pull request. The workflow helps developers easily contribute code changes back to the original project on GitHub.

1. Mr. Crab’s Git Workflow

2. Fork a Repository
Click on fork to create a copy of project to your account

3. Clone the forked project
You have forked the project you want to contribute to your github
account. To get this project on your development machine we use
clone command of git.
$ git clone https://github.com/<your-account-username>/<your-forked-project>.git

4. Add a remote (upstream) to original
project repository
Remote means the remote location of project on
Github. By cloning, we have a remote called origin
which points to your forked repository. Now we will
add a remote to the original repository from where
we had forked.
● $ cd <your-forked-project-folder>
● $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/<my-company>/<project>.git

5. Easy to remember
● Remote origin is your fork: your own repo on
GitHub, clone of the original repo of GitHub.
● Remote upstream generally refers to the
original repo that you have forked.

6. Synchronizing your fork
The remote added above called Upstream
helps in this
● $ git checkout master
● $ git fetch upstream
● $ git merge/rebase upstream/master
● $ git push origin master

7. Create a new branch for a feature or
bugfix
$ git checkout -b <feature-branch-or-bugfix-branch>
● Example name of feature branch
feature/product/specification
● Example name of bugfix branch
fixing/product/specification#1
In many workflows, once a feature branch has been merged back into master
it is deleted. GitHub is probably the prime example of this. If you follow this
school of thought, you would delete feature/product/specification and create a
new feature branch for your next sprint
