   • Create a personal fork of the project on Github.

   • Clone the fork on your local machine. Your remote repo on Github is called origin.

   • Add the original repository as a remote called upstream using one of the following:

     git remote add upstream https://github.ibm.com/payer/caps.git

     or

     git remote add upstream git@github.ibm.com:payer/caps.git

     If you created your fork a while ago be sure to pull upstream changes into your local repository. Create a new branch to work on! Branch from master.

   • Push your branch to your fork on Github, the remote origin.

     • stage changes for push:

       git add .

       or

       git add [FILE PATH]

     • make commit message:

       git commit -m "your message"

     • push your changes:

       git push origin [your branch name]
