How should I commit my branch changes?

When you're complete with the activity, simply commit your changes to your branch of work, then push to the [SXT-Community/SXTAccreditation](https://github.com/SxT-Community/SXTAccreditation) repo. Many IDEs have automated processes to manage this for you, but to do this manually by opening a temrinal / WSL window, and typing:

* **Line 1**: Change to your work folder in your [SXT-Community/SXTAccreditation](https://github.com/SxT-Community/SXTAccreditation) directory * **Line 2**: Make sure your branch is active * **Line 3**: Add all changed files to your local stage * **Line 4**: Commit your changes * **Line 5**: Push your commited changes to github!

``` cd ./your/path/SXTAccreditation/ git checkout git add . git commit -m "added my new working file" git push ```

If you get an error on line 5 saying, `The current branch stephens_work has no upstream branch`, this is because Github doesn't know about your branch yet. Simply run the command the git tool recommends - it will look something like:\ `git push --set-upstream origin ` When you're done for the day, head over to [SXT-Community/SXTAccreditation/Pulls](https://github.com/SxT-Community/SXTAccreditation/pulls) page on Github, and (if you're logged in) you'll see a message like:
