  2. Personal Access Tokens
  3. Steps to Pull request a repository

TWO FACTOR AUTHENTICATION

  1. Go to your security under your settings
  2. Under “Two-factor authentication”, click Enable two-factor authentication.
  3. On the Two-factor authentication page, click Set up using an app.
  4. Save your recovery codes and do either of the below mentioned steps
     a) Scan the QR code with your mobile device’s app. After scanning, the app displays a six-digit code that you can enter on GitHub.
 b) If you can’t scan the QR code, click enter this text code to see a code you can copy and manually enter on GitHub instead
  5. Enter the code, 2FA will be enabled

                    Example: “git add projects/project1”
5. Enter “git status” and confirm if the files are added

1. Now commit it by entering “git commit –m any_message”
                                             Ex: git commit –m “for_loop_change”
2. Now push in Git by “git push origin new_branch_name” (Name which we created in S6)
3. Now enter “git checkout master” and re-check the git status, it should be “master”
