On your own:¶

1. When notified, pull updates to the origin repository to your main branch:

• Very important: While still on your dev branch, run a git status. If necessary, stage and commit your revisions on your dev branch.

• Check out the main branch: git checkout main

• Pull from the upstream repo: git pull origin main

• Verify that the contents of your directory have changed (type ls -l in your terminal in your week6 folder)

• Check out the dev branch again:

  git checkout dev

• Check out any files that exist in your main branch but not in your dev branch: type:

  git checkout main -- .

• Run git status again. You should see that there will be additional files present.

• Stage via git add or git rm as appropriate.

• Commit the staged changes.

• Continue with exploring and then copying/further developing the notebooks you are working on, while also trying any new notebooks.

• As you play around, continue to periodically run git add and/or git rm, and git commit.

• Remember: Always work on your dev branch!
