README.md

Updating your master branch

Pushing changes without fucking the master branch

Create a branch

git branch mybranch

Select the newly created branch

git checkout mybranch

git branch -v

Make changes

Stage the files you need to push

git add *

git commit -m "concise description of that changes"

git branch -v

git checkout master

git pull

git branch -v

git checkout mybranch

git rebase master

git push -u origin mybranch

Use the GitHub feature of merging a pull request to merge branch called mybranch to master

Best practices

1. Once merged the feature branch into the master branch, delete the feature branch remotely and locally.
2. Always use a different branch, not the master branch
3. Use git rebase
