Best Practices:

• Use .gitignore files
  • Copy one from a previous project out on Pearadox GitHub
• Use the VsCode source control to clone the repositories rather than downloading as a .zip file
• Make sure to update the .gitconfig file with your email and user name so the GitHub commits have the right user info
• Always add a comment
• Install extensions
  • GitHub pull requests and issues
  • Git Extension Pack
  • GitLens
  • Git gui
• Make sure .gitconfig is using your email and name (either directly or using git commands)
  • Set a Git username: git config --global user.name "Mona Lisa"
  • Set a Git email: config --global user.email "[email protected]"
• issue notes in subsystem_programming if necessary
• if creating brand new repo:
  1. create new repo in github
  2. clone repo to laptop
  3. copy over code into repo folder
• Implement Continuous Integratrion (guide in Slack, will document fully later)

Pull Request Sequence:

1. create branch in VSCode (if you dont have one already)
2. publish branch
3. make any changes
4. save changes and commit to your branch
5. make a pull request for your commits from VSCode
