This is the template Brian showed me

If you need to link new github account with longleaf (should only need to do this once)

Connect longleaf ssh keys
- If setting up, check for existing public keys using ls -al ~/.ssh
- Copy a file that looks like id_rsa.pub using cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
- Go to profile settings on github and select the ssh key section
  - Add new key
  - Name the key appropriately
  - Paste the copied ssh key from the cat step above
  - Create!
Add github credentials to longleaf
- git config --global user.name "your-github-username"
- git config --global user.email your.email.linkedwith.github

Open OnDemand Session
Set working directory to new repo
Create RProj in existing directory
Good to go!
- Theoretically, you can push, commit, etc. from here, but it's faster (easier?) on the terminal

.gitignore has rules to exclude files by name pattern or location
- Don't upload data or large files!
Changes need to be staged with git add
- git add . adds all files not excluded by the .gitignore in the directory
- git add -i opens an interactive adding session
Commit staged changes with a note to your future self
- git commit -m "Hi future me, this is what I changed"
Commits are pushed to branches
- For the main branch, use git push origin main
