Okay welcome back. In this demonstration we're going to take a look at the forking workflow. In the previous demonstration, we used feature branches as a method for controlling parallel development. This demonstration is going to focus on using forking as a method for parallel development. Okay let's begin. Okay the first thing we'll do is we'll select the CADemo repository. This is going to be the repository that we fork from. Click on the create button. We then select the fork this repository option. For a name we're going to call it CADemo4. Click on the fork repository. In the background, BitBucket has taken a complete copy of the CADemo repository and created this new repository called CADemo4. Okay. Let's now clone this so we'll select HTTPS. We'll copy the url and we'll jump over into the terminal. Pasting the clone url. We do a directory listing. And we'll navigate into our new local repository: CADemo4. All listing, okay. We'll open this up in Visual Code. We'll select the index.html file. And here we'll implement Feature2. Okay, we'll save that. Jump back into the terminal.
We'll do a git status. You can see we have a single modified file. This time we'll do a add into staging and commit operation in one go. Achieving this by running git commit -a -m Feature2 implementation. And then finally a git push. Okay that's completed successfully. Back into BitBucket. We'll go to commits. You can see our Feature2 implementation has been received successfully. We'll now create a pull request. Click on the create pull request button. You can see that the source repository is CADemo4. And the destination repository is CADemo. And we're going from master to master. Feature2 complete. Please merge. And we'll click the create button. Okay, the pull request has been created and BitBucket in the background has swapped us back into the original repository: CADemo. So we can now review this and this time we're going to make a comment. So before we merge please add the date to this line in DD/MM/YYYY format. And we'll throw in a smiley face. Save. Okay. As the implementer of Feature2, I can do this. Save. So I'll jump into Visual Code. I'm now going to add.
I'm now going to add the date. I save. Go back to the terminal. Updated with, with date. Enter. I'll do a git push. Okay that's completed. I go back to BitBucket. I will comment again. I have now added the date. Please merge. Save. And now what I can do is reload the pull request completely. And this time, the index.html is showing the latest commit is pushed into CADemo4 and the three prior comments are still here for viewing. Okay. Now as a reviewer of the pull request, I can simply approve. I'm happy with the change. And then I can merge. The merge strategy again is going to be a merge commit. For default. Clicking merge. And the change has now been successfully merged back into the CADemo repository. We can look at the source. And if we look at index.html, again, we can see that Feature2 has indeed merged successfully into the orignal CADemo repository. Okay. That completes this demonstration on the forking workflow. Go ahead and close this demonstration and we'll see you shortly in the next one.
