You will be presented with a menu with choices. Select which project you want to use. The projects can be configured in the /config/config.json file

1. Create a new feature branch called "alex-feature" based on master and changes to it.

git checkout -b alex-feature master

2. Start working to make your changes
3. Alex do some changes and adds one or several commits.

git status
git add (or .)
git commit

3. This command pushes alex-feature to the central repository (origin), and the -u flag adds it as a remote tracking branch. After setting up the tracking branch, Alex can call git push without any parameters to push his feature.

git push -u origin alex-feature

4. Alex has finished his changes. Before merging it into master, he needs to file a pull request letting the rest of the team know she's done. But first, he should make sure the central repository has his most recent commits:

git push

6. First, whoever’s performing the merge needs to check out their master branch and make sure it’s up to date. Then, git pull origin alex-feature merges the central repository’s copy of alex-feature. You could also use a simple git merge alex-feature, but the command shown above makes sure you’re always pulling the most up-to-date version of the feature branch. Finally, the updated master needs to get pushed back to origin.

git checkout master
git pull
git pull origin alex-feature
git push
