Collaborating on GitHub can be hard when doing for the first time but don’t worry this blog will clear your queries as I have written step by step procedure on how to do it.

Github Collaboration is where developers from all around the word can contribute/work on a single project.

In order to know about collaborations you must know the concepts of

Pull request

Merge Pull request

Let’s understand with an example.

Let’s say there is one person ( Person A) who have a project on Github that he have pushed from his github account.

Now, if there are other developers who want to contribute to that project and they can do it by forking the owners repository.

Forking means creating a copy of the owners repository in your own profile. Now once a repository is forked the contributors can perform all the required operations on that owners source code without making changes to the original files. Once the changes are made they can create a pull request and send it to the owner of the project. The owner can then review those changes and merge them. This is how github collaborations work.

You can refer to the article below for further details.
