DO NOT CREATE A LOCAL BRANCH TO WORK ON FOR A WEEK AND THEN TRY TO SIMPLY MERGE IT WITH THE MASTER yesterday we lost almost a weeks worth of work, and have spent many hours trying to get everything working again because people merged an old version and deleted a whole lot of stuff

-1) Clone into the repository so you keep a [you guessed it] clone of the repo on local filesystem:

git clone https://github.com/MTRX3700Dirac/Yavin4DefenceSystem [Source-Directory]

After this, issue commands from within the source-directory

-1b) If using SourceTree, make a new branch so all your changes are put in its own branch. A branch is like an online copy of your local changes, and should hold the code you are working on before they it is integrated into the master.

-2) Make a change to a file in the repo, and commit the change, like this readme

git commit README.md

This saves changes LOCALLY. For committing changes to the online repo,

git push https://github.com/MTRX3700Dirac/Yavin4DefenceSystem

or just

git push

-3) To refresh your local repo copy to the latest, use

git pull

or for a specific folder in the repo,

git pull https://github.com/MTRX3700Dirac/Yavin4DefenceSystem/FOLDER
