Create a common file about working with git

[StackScribe]

Proposal

We need a single document that summarizes how to work with git and DCO for all Keptn projects. For new users, figuring out the right thing from all the git documentation can be overwhelming so we need a simple "cheatsheat" that discusses the basic steps people need to take to create a PR. We currently have information for this in the CONTRIBUTING.md files for individual repos but this should be consolidated into a single file that is appropriate for all projects and repositories.

• Create a page in the Contributor/Developer Guide (see https://github.com/keptn/lifecycle-toolkit/issues/212 ) that provides comprehensive information appropriate for all Keptn contributions.
• Add a link to this file from all Keptn CONTRIBUTING.md files
• Delete straight git information from other CONTRIBUTINZG.md files

This is not big enough to be a full GSoC project but it might be combined with other work or might be a good-first-issue for people preparing to be mentees.
