Collaborating with others

To work on projects together with other people, the industry standard is Git / GitHub. However, this is not available or is not an easy option to use on Chromebooks on a school network. So in order to be able to collaborate with others using Git, a personal laptop for the club will be required, or you can work on projects together at home.

Github stores a repository of your code on the cloud, that multiple people at a time can make changes to, making collaboration seamless.

Everytime you want to make a change and save the state of the project at that point, you make a commit. Git combines the commits from all contributors to enable collaboration. 

Git is a version control software, meaning it also allows you to create branches for different features or testing and merge them as needed, so this also reduces risks of messing up the project files as you can always revert your project back to a previous commit.
