Git Flow Example with NodeJS Hello World

GitHub repo
https://github.com/jay-maas/GitFlowExample/pull/1

Hello! My name is Jay. I am going to walk through a full Git flow today while building a hello world node js server. I will be using Git Bash, Google Chrome and VS code studio on Windows 10

I will start with navigating to the folder I would like to place my repo into locally with git bash.
cd stands for change directory
ls stands for list
I am going to choose

cd documents/practice

Now i will use the command

git clone ***insert url here from github***

I need the url of my github repo. I will click the clone or download button and use the clipboard icon to copy the link.
I will paste this into the terminal
Now I have the files locally, I will open the containing folder with VS Code.
I want to create my own branch to work on, as is best practice, not to push code on to the master branch.
Using

cd GitFlowExample

git checkout -b origin jay-maas

i checkout of master and into my own branch
I am going to now create a new file

touch app.js

I want to push this file to gitHub.
I need to check if my local equals my remote repo.
Using

git status

I will know if I need to commit and push
It shows that app.js needs to be staged
Using

git add .

I stage all files to be pushed
I will check again with

git status

to make sure we got the green light
I will now add a commit message

git commit -m 'Project Initialized Created new file app.js'

and then

git push origin jay-maas

Since there are changes between my new branch and the master branch, I can now create a pull request. I want to pull request to my own master branch. I have already added a peer to be a collaborator to my repo. I will select them as a reviewer. I will leave the PR open until the review has been completed.

Now, I will continue with creating the server.
run the server with the command

node app.js

open in browser a tab and put the url of
localhost:3000

git status

git add .

git commit -m 'Added necessary code to render Hello World from the app.js file in the browser at the url of localhost:3000'

git push origin jay-maas

Now I will to collaborate further with my peer.
