I changed the name of the repo. To make everything pretty, rename your working folder, and type this line:

	git remote set-url origin https://github.tamu.edu/USERNAME/DMS.git

I also set up development branches for each of us. I think this is the way we’re supposed to have it, but this is my first GitHub project so I’m not at all positive.
When beginning to work:

	git checkout beccadev

This switches to your development branch. At any time, just type git status to see what’s going on.
Before doing anything, type:

       git merge beccadev master
       git push
       
This updates your branch with the master branch, and pushes the update to GitHub. There is probably definitely a better way to do this. (I’m pretty sure you can use git clone somehow)
Don’t forgot to use git add filename.txt to add any files you want saved to git. Or just use git add * to grab them all. For some reason it’s making me do this every time I edit anything, which is weird.
Commit changes with git commit –m “something descriptive”.

If everything works the way you’ve anticipated and it compiles properly and completely done, return to master with git checkout master and merge:

	git merge master beccadev

Type git push and you’re done.

MAKE SURE TO: commit often and delete your .o file before pushing.
