Chingu Git Tools

On my Chingu-Voyage6 bears project, I keep repeating the same git commands over and over every time I create new branches. To make my Chingu workflow easier, I created these commands.

I made the commands based from this article: https://github.com/Chingu-cohorts/voyage-wiki/wiki/ProjSetup-Git-Workflow

Why? because I can and I like to share what I have learned with git.
