Rules

• Anytime we want to work on files, we first checkout to our respective branch
• Once we're done and want to commit, push to repo while still in that branch
• To do this, e.g. Andrew will do git push origin Andrew while in the Andrew branch
• After pushing to repo, we can merge the branch with the main branch
• To update the new files on our end, we pull and then merge main branch with our respective working branch
