GUIDE: How To Push To Someone Else's PR

PR Owner (That Already Pushed Some Commits):

1. Create a token according to this guide.
2. Share it with your whole team, so others could add commits to your PR.

Other Team Member That Wants To Push To That PR:

1. Add a remote of your team member that made the PR, with SSH, with the token made:
   For example:

   git remote add tal https://<GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN>@github.com/taljacob2/Beyond-07-team-4
   

2. Checkout to the branch that is linked to the PR you want to contribute to.
   For example, if the PR looks like this:

   

   Then, you want to:

   git checkout feat/adding-chat-app
   

3. Work on that branch, and add your commits to it.
   It is a convention to add both of you as the commit authors.
   Do it by adding a list of Co-authored-by: user.name <user.email> to the bottom of the commit message.

   Read more about "Co-authored-by" here! and here!

   For example, let's say you are contributing to taljacob2:feat/adding-chat-app. So you need to add to the bottom of the commit message the line:

   Co-authored-by: Tal Jacob <taljacob2@gmail.com>
   

4. (Before pushing, make sure the PR owner knows you want to push to his PR!).
   Push the commit to the fork of the PR owner, to add it to the PR.
   For example:

   git push tal feat/adding-chat-app
   

5. You're done! The PR has been successfully updated with your commits.
