Working with team on Github

Since this semister is the first time I'm working with Github, I'm still kind of new to it. I've been having all kinds of trouble with Github on both my class repository and my team project repository. Until recent I finally found out how to successfully check my conflict files and send a pull request without creating tons of mess.

One thing I found out that having a programming project on Github could somehow be not helpful. It is definitely a benefit for a team to have a project "dropbox" that anyone can access it at anytime. Additionally, when people are unavailalbe to meet they will not having trouble access and edit the newest version of code.

However, when we're having an actual meeting and trying to work the project together, we will still have to work on one single screen together. Due to the size of the project, we're essentially editing the same file and it will obviously cause tourbhe if we're all working on the same file and stepping on each others' toe.

I'm sure there is a way on Github to work around this. However due to my level of knowledge on Github it is pretty painful to constantly resolve merging conflicts. I'm still having a positive aspect toward Github because it is essentially a great platform for project development and management. I will definitely use Github as one of my major tool for developing in the future.
