Git Introduction

Git can be hard to navigate. This page has been created to help HI members to utilize good git practices to prevent extraneous merge conflicts and allow more seamless work on the PCB boards. This page does not include information on how to connect GitHub to CadLab. For this there will be a separate page that is linked on the side.
