A New Mission

Update your local repository

The first step before starting a new mission is to make sure your local repository is up to date.

  1. Open GitHub Desktop.
  2. Select the Missions repository.
  3. Select the main branch.
  4. Click the "Fetch origin" button if it is available.
  5. Click the "Pull origin" button if it is available.

Create a new branch

Each mission must have its own branch. This allows you to work on multiple missions at the same time without having to worry about conflicts.

Each branch is named after the mission. See Mission Typess for more information on mission types.

  4. Reopen the mission.
