Changes

Steps to make changes

In GitHub:

1. Assign the issue that will be worked on to yourself. See Issues below.
2. If no issue exists, open a new issue and assign it to yourself. E.g. Create site home page (Ensure that the title is unique and succinct. A detailed description of what work is be completed must be entered.)

In Git Bash (Windows) or Terminal (Mac, Linux):

1. Navigate to the folder where the local repository was created.
2. Check that the correct username and email is set using the git config -l command.
3. Switch to the develop branch and execute a git pull to get the latest code from the remote repository.
4. Add, modify and/or delete a file(s).
5. When the changes are complete:
   1. test the changes
   2. add the file(s) to the staging area git add <filename>
   3. commit the changes git commit -m "<commit message>"
   4. push the develop branch to the remote repository git push
6. Close the issue after all required changes have been committed and pushed to the remote repository.

Repeat these steps each time changes are to be made. NOTE: Ensure that a git pull is regularly executed while checked out on the develop branch to get any changes that have been pushed to the develop branch.

To keep the develop and main branches in sync, complete the following steps in the local repository:

1. Switch to the main branch. E.g. git checkout main
2. Merge the develop branch into the main branch. E.g. git merge develop
3. Push the changes to the remote repository. E.g. git push
4. Switch to the develop branch. E.g. git checkout develop
5. On the remote repository the develop branch will be even with the main branch.
