OK, GO! Give me the code so I can help!

In your projects directory, run git clone https://github.com/codeforsanantonio/edwards_aquifer.git

GitHub Workflow

After cloning, git branch <your-name>, where is a variable.
Now checkout the branch with git checkout <your-name>, where is a variable.
Type git branch to confirm that youa re in your <your-name> branch.
Do the following from here on out:
- Use git add to add your new files and edits
- Commit frequently, writing useful commit messages with git commit
- Do git pull origin master to make sure you're up to date.
- Resolve any possible conflicts
- Then git push origin <your-name> to get your code on GitHub.
- Issue a pull request
- Ensure someone else reviews and merges your code.
- Keep going in this cycle.
