Introduction

GitHub is a Git repository hosting service, but it adds many of its own features. While Git is a command line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface.

...

git-secrets is a tool created by AWS Labs that scans commits and commit messages and aims to prevent passwords and other sensitive information being committed to a git repository. The tool can also scan files or folders to look for secrets such as an AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Keys in a repository. git-secrets scans commits, commit messages, and merge commits to prevent adding secrets into your git repositories. If a commit, commit message, or any commit in merge history matches one of the configured prohibited regular expression patterns, then the commit is rejected.

Step 3 : Work on changes and Gerrit commands to push the changes

Make the code changes, and commit the changes

$ git add .
$ git status
$ git commit -m "<JIRA_TICKET_ID> <COMMIT_DESCRIPTION>"
$ git push


Step 4 : Create pull request for review the changes

Once submitted the changes need to create pull request from github for review. Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a branch in a repository on GitHub. Once a pull request is opened, you can discuss and review the potential changes with collaborators and add follow-up commits before your changes are merged into the base branch.

Step 5 : Working on review comments

Once you've created a pull request, you can push commits from your workspace to add them to your existing pull request. These commits will appear in chronological order within your pull request and the changes will be visible in the "Files changed" tab.

Other contributors can review your proposed changes, add review comments, contribute to the pull request discussion, and even add commits to the pull request.
