# common workflow

# get most recent changes from g1nn13
git fetch
git merge origin/master

# make a new topic branch
git checkout -b new-modal

# do some work

# check in your work
git commit -am "Make the modal more better."

# either merge locally...
git checkout master
git merge new-modal

# ...and push to your repo's master
git push mattd master

# then submit a pull request for master -> master

# ...or push your topic branch to github
git push mattd new-modal

# then submit a pull request for new-modal -> master
