Our company has started working as a contributer for an open source project. The versioning system used will be Git . We have already forked the project and therefore already have the remote repository. I want a local repository and each develeper should have a separate branch of the local repository . They would make changes and commit to their branch and later push to the local repository. After all changes , the local repository changes will be pushed to remote repository and from there pull request will be created. This is my intended workflow in layman terms. How do i go about it in Git?

- If the remote repository is on github then why not just use that instead of working on a local repository too?Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen– Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen2017-03-15 13:19:42 +00:00Commented Mar 15, 2017 at 13:19

The common process to contribute for a github repo as below (assume your team want to contribute to a github repo for master branch):
- Fork the github repo your team want to contribute.
- Create a
developbranch for the fork repo. - Each developer works in his separate local branch, after finish his work, merge his local branch to
developbranch and then pushdevelopbranch to fork repo (or push his local branch to fork repo and then create a pull request to merge his separate branch intodevelopbranch). - After your whole team finish the work, create a pull request to merge
developbranch intomasterbranch.
