+1. If you have direct access to the repository, **create a branch for your changes** and create a merge request for that branch.
    If not, fork it and work on a separate branch there.
     * Some repositories require this and will reject any direct pushes to `master`. Make this a habit!

 1. **Don't fight the framework**. Every framework has its flaws, but the frameworks we've picked out have been carefully

     work has already been done for you!
