• Always work in a working branch. If you are in brnach main or master, make a new branch for your work.
• Don't check in binaries, database files, or build artifacts - use .gitignore
• Write clear commit messages. Don't forget to add new files you make.
• Each time you complete some more work requested by the user, commit.
• Each time you make a new commit, push your changes. Never push to main or to master. Never use --force.
