How to use the Tech Report template

Developer/Technical people version

For the people that know how to use Git with the commandline. Follow these instructions:

1. Install Git on your computer.
2. Go to the folder (in the commandline/terminal) where you want to store all your Technical reports.
3. Add the git clone command with the url in your commandline/terminal git clone https://github.com/raymonschouwenaar/tech-report-temp.git
4. Now you have a clone of my GitHub repo on your computer.
5. I want to advice you to copy the folder and rename the date, your projectname and your First and lastname. So if there is an update for the template you can go to the folder (in the commandline/terminal) and type git pull so the template will be updated.
6. To check if there is an update type git status in the template folder.

Non or less technical people version
