+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.
