Create a new branch

If you are working on some changes, please create a new branch, submit it to github ask for approval and when it gets approved it should automatically ship to Heroku

Before writing anything run git pull origin master
Then create your branch git checkout -b %your_branch_name% call your branch something that represents what you're planning to do
When you're finished add your changes git add .
And commit with a message git commit -m "%your feature description%"
When pushing to github make sure you push your branch name and not master!!

Deployment to Heroku

git push origin %branch_name% (sends it to Github) - DO NOT use git push heroku master
Be very careful running migrations by testing if they work locally first (ie run makemigrations, migrate, runserver locally when you've made database changes)
James or Tim will approve your change, and will deploy it to master
