+### Git workflow
+1) Fork main repo (http://git.aten.cool/caten/DiscreteNeuralNets). This is
+    different than just cloning. There is a button on Forgejo for this.
+2) Clone your fork to your machine.
+3) Make a branch on your machine.
+4) At any time, you can push your changes to your personal fork of the repo.
+5) On your machine, pull from the main repo's main branch.
+6) On your machine, merge the main branch into your new branch.
+7) Resolve any conflicts that arise, then merge your new branch into the main
+    branch.
+8) Push your work to your personal fork of the repo.
+9) Make a pull request to pull your fork's main into the original repo's main.
