Part 1: The Problem

During the course of our development, our team encountered significant issues with our GitHub repository, specifically with pushing and merging files. This problem not only affected our individual productivity but also had potential consequences for the end users of our product. Incorrect or incomplete file updates could lead to version mismatches and conflicts, resulting in a fragmented and unstable codebase. This would undermine the overall reliability and functionality of our project, causing frustration for both our team and the end users.

Part 2: Problem Solution

To address the GitHub issues, our team took proactive steps to resolve the problems and ensure a smooth workflow. As individual team members, we recognized the importance of seeking assistance and guidance to overcome the obstacles we faced. We arranged a meeting with our instructor, who provided invaluable expertise and support.

During the meeting, we identified a few key issues contributing to the GitHub problems. One of the main culprits was the incorrect configuration of the .gitattributes file and other project settings. These misconfigurations were causing conflicts and preventing proper file merging and pushing.

With the guidance of our instructor, we rectified the issues with the .gitattributes file and made necessary adjustments to the project settings. By ensuring that the configurations were correct and aligned with the requirements of our project, we were able to restore the functionality of GitHub.
