🔵 Workflow 2.2: Change Authorship

Phase 2. Make the project yours while preserving credit for the original.

WHY? Changing authorship is a safe, common, and necessary first change to a working project. Authorship indicates who is responsible for various project parts. Authorship helps keep a working example side-by-side with custom code you develop. Clear authorship is important at work and on teams. It helps others understand who created, changed, reviewed, and is responsible for specific parts of the project.

Goal

In this phase, you update the project to reflect your authorship. The repository now belongs to you while crediting the original source.

Steps

  1. Git pull before changes
  2. Update authorship and repository references
  3. Run the project code
  4. Git add-commit-push
