2. directly pull/push to this repo

If you are having trouble pulling, pushing to the repo, then it may be because the upstreams are set to be the actual repo. To confirm this, you can run git remote -v and look for (upstream) listed somewhere. Then you just run git pull upstream [working_branch] and git push upstream [working_branch] (from your master branch).

If you are not in the susa-org organization, or you are just a general member (1 or 3)

Your steps for contributing are:

1. Fork this repo
2. Clone your fork (www.github.com/youracct/Fall-2018-Career-Exploration
3. Set your remotes

This means setting up your local version of the repo to be able to pull directly from the actual repo. This can be done by running the following command from within your local git repo:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/SUSA-org/Fall-2018-Career-Exploration.git

The link may be wrong, but otherwise it should work. Then, upon running

git remote -v

You should see "upstream https://...." listed.

4. Pull from the upstream, push to origin

git pull upstream BRANCH # BRANCH is usually master
git push # This will push to your local version, and will push to whatever branch you're working on

5. Create a pull request (go to your github account's fork, click pull request, compare forks)
