GIT adding and committing files.
Whenever you make any changes:
(You must add and commit all changes BEFORE trying to pull or else it won't work)
1.) cd into that folder where the changes are located.
2.) git add . (This will add all changes, if that doesn't work git add -A)
3.) git commit -m "Your commit message goes here...blah, blah."
4.) git pull upstream master --> This will make sure that you have the most recent files.
5.) git push origin master (This pushes up all your changes to your repo)

- You might have added your OWN repo as the upstream vs the gastudents repo.
So type:
git remote -v
Check the name:
git@github.com:catm705/bewd_11_nyc_homework.git --> (See this one says 'catm705' in the path - it should say 'gastudents'
So then you must rename your upstream
1.) git remote remove upstream
2.) git remote add git@github.com:gastudents/bewd_11_nyc_homework.git
