Raising the bar for first null commit repo steps. #10

In my opinion, have a dev do a first null commit should require that they:

  1. clone
  2. create new repo branch with their github username+date
  3. edit, save add, commit
  4. push
  5. In github project issues, request that we approve their null commit and decide to either merge it or discard it.

This addition of the repo branch and merge steps do raise the bar, so that might be too much at once for noobz.

However, proficient git/github folks will both know this and respect it.

Therefore, 2 tasks in first-null-commit:

  1. first null commit - this should be written up as an issue and delegated to new dev
  2. branch, commit, push, notify - another issue to delegate to new dev.
