When you create a new repository, you give it a name, description, say whether it\'92s Public or Private (though Private costs $7/month \'93account upgrade\'94 fee).  Check \'93Initialize this repository with a README\'94.\
\
To create a new branch, click the \'93Branch: master\'94 pulldown (on the left of the main project page), type in a name, then click the blue \'93Create branch: <branchname>\'94 button.  The \'93Branch:\'94 menu button should now say the new branch name.\
\
To edit a file, click on it, then click the \'93pencil\'94 icon on the right.  You can Preview your changes (text files only?), and below that there\'92s a place to enter comments for your \'93Commit changes\'94.  Changes can be committed directly to your branch (e.g. \'93Test-Edits\'94), or you can create a new branch pre-populated with this change.\
\
Adding a new file: click \'93Create new file\'94.  Be sure the Branch: is the one you intend to add it to!!!!\
\
Creating a Pull Request: click the green \'93Compare and Pull Request\'94, or click the small \'93Pull requests\'94 button at the top and then the green Pull Request button.  It will show the \'93base: <master>\'94 and the \'93compare: <Test-Edits>\'94, and then all your changes.  Click the green \'93Create pull request\'94 to initiate the pull request.\
\
Then in the Pull requests tab, it will show there\'92s now a Pull request for you (or whoever the owner is) to Merge in.  If no conflicts, just click the green \'93Merge pull request\'94 button, and then the green \'93Confirm merge\'94 button.  If the merge is successful, you can delete your branch (Purple tab, click \'93Delete branch\'94).}
