Best practices

• pull before push

• Work on your own branch (in your own fork), and not on master and not on develop

• Do not push to master or develop, but submit a PR/MR

• Get your code reviewed by your peers (submit a PR/MR!)

• Submit a PR/MR often!

• clone a repository, do not download the .zip file.

• Do not combine git commands

  $ git commit -am "myMessage" # do not do this

• Stage only 1 file at once using

  $ git add myFile.txt

• Commit only a few files at once (after multiple separate git add commands)

• Push often - avoid conflicts

Remember: A push a day keeps conflicts away!
