Forking and syncing the git repo

Follow these step to get a fork of the repo synced to your machine.

1. Navigate to the repository located here
2. Click the Fork button in the upper right hand corner. Fork it to your user account.
3. It will take you automatically to your forked version of the repo. Clone this repository to your machine using the method of your choice.

• If you are using command line (recommended) run the command git clone url the url can be found on the right side of the page at your repository
• If you are using the desktop client, you can do it from there.

4. You now have a local version of the repo and you can start working. It is recommended that you add a remote to upstream, which can be found here. In our case, the upstream location is the repo you forked from.
5. You will also want to perform this command: git checkout -b develop origin/develop. This will give you local access to the develop branch.
6. From this point on, you only need to use the master branch if you want to see the current release version of the project. Always work in develop and submit pull requests in develop!!
