I have an alternative approach that I like that I feel like makes it easier to keep the

I think I captured this in the latest version, can you please take a
look and make sure I'm not misrepresenting it?

- Would it be a good idea to add in this section the following additional command?
git push origin master
Good point! I don't use the web interface much, so I didn't think of
that. I added it to my draft.
4. The following question came up when I started making edits that I
didn't have the time to finish today.
- I understand that ++git checkout -b branch_name++ puts me into my working branch that I
have created.
- However if I need to close my text editor and come back to my edits later, how do I
know if I'm still making those edits in my "work in progress" branch instead
of my forked "master" branch?
- Do I fire up a terminal and just run ++git checkout -b branch_name++ again?
- Or is there a "status" type command that I would run from the terminal to
know what branch I'm making my edits in?
`git branch` will tell you the current branch, along with the other
branches it knows about. Your current branch starts with *. I added a
tip to the "Making a contribution" section:
