The Workflow

  1. Check what branch you are on (git branch)
  2. Sync Remote via (git pull)
  3. Identify Feature for branch
  4. Create a branch for feature (git checkout -b <useful_branch_name>)
    • Branch name should be a reasonable unit of work that is worth 16hrs or so of work
  5. Do Work and Make a commit (git commit -m "<some message>")
  6. Sync with remote again via (git push) or (git gui)
  7. Open a PR for you new branch with a useful message in Github
    • use that PR for reference until the work is complete

Shouldn't there be a 'git add' before step 4 'git commit'? The message I got was "nothing to commit'. I did an add and then git was happy to commit. Or is this just when creating a new branch to work on.
