find overflow:hidden ancestors
// when you're trying to use `position:sticky` on an element

// see here for how the display & align-self properties affect: http://bit.ly/2ZaRu4o

  1. Download and install the git command-line client (if required).

  2. Open the git bash window and introduce yourself to git (if required):

    git config --global user.name 'Firstname Lastname'
    git config --global user.email 'firstname.lastname@gov.bc.ca'

Mastery comes from a combination of at least several of the following:
