  git branch -f production origin/production
  git checkout production

From there you should be good to go to start coding!
To add to the codebase use Git! git add . adds all changes, git status checks status of Git, git commit -m ... adds a message to your commit for better referencing, git push origin production pushes your code to our production branch!

  git add .
  git status
  git commit -m "<enter your message here>"
  git push origin production

To pull from existing codebase (get our latest updates), this will pull anything from master into your current production branch.

  git pull
  git merge origin/production
