Git common practices

Commit early, commit often

It should go without saying that you save often as you work on a project. I personally keep my thumb and ring finger on Command + s respectively, all the time.

The step beyond that is committing with git so that you can manage a healthy project workflow.

Every time you finish a feature, fix a bug, etc - Add, Commit and Push your work.

git add myproject.js
git commit -m "Finish new function"
git push

Stay up to date by pulling in changes from upstream

I'll often notify you when there are important changes I've made to the repository.

To synchronize your copy on disk, use:

git pull upstream master
