Something that was not explained is that version control system can only work with text files such as txt, java or C# code files. Do not try this with MS Word documents. OneDrive (or other cloud systems) can cope with sharing and editing and it does keep a history of all the different saved versions. What OneDrive cannot do is create branches or forks.

How to work as a Team in GitHub

• One team member (project leader) sets up a GitHub repository.
• The project leader then adds the other team members as collaborators.
• The collaborators will clone this repository
• Every time you start to code, pull down any changes made by other team members
• Every team member can make many local commits
• Add an issue whenever you spot something you think is wrong, or something that can be done better
• Team members only push up those commits once they compile and they have been tested.
• Alternatively create a new branch, push and create a pull request.
