Setting Up Your Project

1. Copy the "FINCH_Starter" Project:

   • Copy the entire folder and paste it in the same directory (or a directory of your choice).

2. Rename Your Project:

   • Give the copied folder a unique and descriptive name that reflects the essence of your project.

3. Open the "FINCH_Starter.sc" File:

   • Inside your new project folder, find and open the "FINCH_Starter.sc" file.
   • This file is the starting point where you can begin modifying the project.

Pushing Changes to the Repository

1. Make Your Changes: Work on your project and save your changes.

2. Commit and Push:

   • Open GitHub Desktop and it will automatically detect changes made in your project folder.
   • In the GitHub Desktop interface, you'll see a list of modified files. Add a summary and description of the changes you've made.
   • Commit the changes to your branch by clicking on Commit to main.
   • To upload your changes to the repository, click on Repository in the menu bar and select Push.

   Note: To push changes to the main repository, you'll need access permissions. If you don't have access, please reach out in the #adcs channel on Slack for issues and to get added to the repo.
