Day by day work

Shows the log with the actual changes to the code (diff)

 git log -p

This will copy the status of the code from the online repository to your local clone of the the same branch (master)

 git pull upstream master

Commit changes to a local branch:

 git commit -am "ENH: some message here"

Push the changes online:

 git push origin life_devo

Make a branch:

 git branch name_branch_01

Push the branch upstream:

 git push -u origin name_branch_01

Now you can go online and start a pull request to merge the life_devo repository into the master repository. There are alternative commands from the terminal to do that but I am not writing this down here. After the pull request has been accepted you can potentially delete the copies of the repository (life_devo) from your local machine and from the cloud (see next lines).

Delete a branch locally (that has been cleared and integrated into master):

 git branch -d vs_mrtrix

Delete a branch online (github)

 git push origin :vs_mrtrix
