We would like always to use the most up to date Orchard 1.8.x branch for development.

Desired Workflow

1. Regularly fetch and merge from https://git01.codeplex.com/orchard
   1. git fetch origin
   2. git merge origin/1.8.x
2. Do development.
3. Add, commit, and push to https://github.com/bigfont/super-project.git
   1. git add –A
   2. git commit –m “Some message”
   3. git push super-project 1.8.x

Steps for Setting up the Remotes

1. Create a local directory for your Orchard project (e.g. orchard-super-project)
2. Navigate to that directory in PoshGit.
3. Clone Orchard 1.8.x by running:
   1. git clone -b 1.8.x https://git01.codeplex.com/orchard .
   2. -b 1.8.x means clone only that branch.
   3. . means clone into the current  directory instead of creating a new one.
4. Create a remote repository using the GitHub web user interface (e.g. super-project).
5. Back in PoshGit, add the new repository as a remote by running:
   1. git remote add super-project https://github.com/bigfont/super-project.git
   2. super-project is the friendly, local name of the remote.
   3. http://github.com/… is the URL to the remote.
6. Test your remote setup by running git remote -v
