Steps to creating a branch, and making a pull request (PR):

git checkout master ----> make sure you are on the master branch
git pull ----> pulls the most recent version of master so your new branch is up to date
git branch ----> create a new branch with format: Name/ ex: Patrick/login-feature
git checkout ----> checkout your newly created branch
make changes
git add . ----> stage all changes
git status ----> check current branch status
git commit -m "" ----> commit changes to local branch
git push origin ----> pushes changes to your remote branch to be merged into master
in github, make a pull request (branches > active branches > > New pull request)
when done with branch (PR HAS BEEN MERGED INTO MASTER), delete it
- delete it locally using: git branch -d
- delete remote branch in github "branches" section

steps 3 & 4 can be combined into a single command: git checkout -b this creates a new branch and switches to it
if you wish to only stage some files (not all): git add
