Development Practices:
- Commit does not contain unrelated code changes
- Code uses atomic commits
- The code is tested by adding new tests or fixing existing ones
- New features and enhancements are documented. The documentation can be as a .md, we will ensure it makes it into the user guide. A good doc file name would be
MY_NEW_FEATURE.md.
3. Sync changes made in the original repository with your fork

git remote add upstream https://github.com/jppf-grid/JPPF.git
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
Then update your branch from your local copy of master, and push it!
git checkout my_new_feature
git rebase master
git push --set-upstream origin my_new_feature
