3. Checking out code and making changes

• Create an issue
• Developers shall use forks to checkout code and make changes. Some good references for the process are:
  • Github guide to forking
  • This blog site.
  • You can also search the Github help page.
• Following the Gitflow process, all code development must be done within your fork in 'feature' branches created off 'develop'.
• Please reference the issue number in all commit messages. That will attach all commit messages to their issue. Example commit message: "Update x,y and z. This commit references issue #33"
