Git Workflow

Here's the general Git workflow that you will run into:

1. Pull from origin main/master: git pull origin main

2. Create your own development branch: git checkout -b <your branch name>

3. Make your edits

4. Commit and push your changes to your branch:

git add <file changed> <file changed>
git commit -m "commit message"
git push --set-upstream origin <your branch name>

1. Open a pull request (PR) in the GitHub interface to merge into main:

Remember to never commit and push directly to main. The purpose of git is to create a way for many people to work on the same code at the same time without major conflicts.

We also would like to see a clean git history. This means:

• Rebase often: try to pull the latest changes from main as needed

• Make PRs for features and try not to run into conflicts

• Make commits linear if possible:
