Getting started

This repository is organized with tags.

To list all tags:

git tag

To checkout a tag:

git checkout <tag-name>

To checkout the latest commit:

git checkout master

All tags are labeled in sequential order and should be approached in that order.

Pulling changes from original source

If you have forked this repo, you won't be able to pull changes from the thoughtworks-jumpstart/testing-in-javascript repo.

This is because your remote repo is now pointing to your forked copy i.e. /testing-in-javascript.

You can verify this by running git remote --verbose and you should see this:

origin	https://github.com/<your-username>/testing-in-javascript.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/<your-username>/testing-in-javascript.git (push)

So you will need to add another remote repository called upstream that points to the thoughtworks-jumpstart repo.

You can do that by running the following command:

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/thoughtworks-jumpstart/testing-in-javascript.git

Now run git remote --verbose and check that yours looks like this:

origin	https://github.com/<your-username>/testing-in-javascript.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/<your-username>/testing-in-javascript.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/thoughtworks-jumpstart/testing-in-javascript.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/thoughtworks-jumpstart/testing-in-javascript.git (push)

⚠️ Make sure you have commit all your changes before pulling new changes from the remote repository.

To pull any changes, just run git fetch upstream followed by git merge upstream/master master.
