Step 3

Create a new branch

$ git checkout -b [ branch name ]

• This creates a new branch and switches to it
• Now run the following on your command line

$ git branch

• And you should have something like this

master
* [ branch name ]

• The * indicates the branch you are on

Make a change to your README.md

• Add anything, remove anything, do anything to your file
• We highly suggest using Open Ipsum for fun text

Checkout and commit

• Add, commit, and push your changes to your current branch
• This time, we will just be adding the .md file. You will not be using add .
• Remember, you won't be be pushing to master. You'll be pushing to the branch you create
• Here are the commands

$ git add README.md
$ git commit -m "[ Your message ]"
$ git push origin [ branch name ]
