Getting Started with git

GitHub uses git to control and maintain the source code versioning of projects made using the Python Template. This tutorial is no substitute for a good understanding of version control in general and git in particular. We will cover just enough git commands here to get you up and running.

Step 1: Make a new branch to start working on. Prefix it with the number 1 so we know it’s linked to issue 1.

git checkout -b "1-testing-tox-lint-pep8"

You can now start modifying files.
