If two people are working on the same repo, they should work on different branches other than master and merge them later.

For example:

  • master
  • landing-page
  • inquiries-page

Alex will work on the landing-page branch, while his colleague works on the inquiries-page branch.

If Alex wants to see how inquiries-page look, he should 'pull' the branch into his local using this command:

git pull origin inquiries-page

origin refers to the remote destination which is on Github or Gitlab.

inquiries-page is the local branch in Alex's laptop.

And Alex can also check how each branch maps to the other in remote and local:

git remote show origin
