## Pull Requests
Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout the project (spelling, indentation, punctuation etc.).
Adhering to the following process is the best way to get your work included in the project:
1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo) the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:
```bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone git@github.com/<your-username>/frontend.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd frontend/
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream git@github.com:labs14-stampd/frontend.git
```
2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:
```bash
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
```
3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to
contain your feature, change, or fix:
```bash
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
```
4. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
```bash
git pull [--rebase] upstream master
```
5. Push your topic branch up to your fork:
```bash
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
```
