Below is our current practice for using Git (the technology) & Github (the repository) when collaborating on projects. This process assumes that you already have Git installed & configured, and there is an existing project repository on Github with a "development" branch already setup.
If you do not have Git installed, follow these instructions.
This process also assumes that you are using the command line, however most of these tasks can be performed with a desktop client like Github for Mac or Tower.
1.) Open terminal and locate the project directory you wish to use.
