This is a first experiment in github to see how versioning in github works. The interesting thing is that you can write using markup in this small window without any problem. This line is added in the first branch of the project just to test how that looks as soon as I want to merge this to the original text.

Let's see how we can create some sections:

Here is the first section, starting with a section 2 level header indicated by "##".

This is an extra edit started in the "readme-edits" branch as suggested by the hello world tutorial over at github. It is a nice extra paragraph at the end of the original text, but I will also add some text in between existing text.

The following image taken from the introduction of Github explains nicely how it works.

However, the image isn't quite complete. In fact they explain the following steps:

1. create a branch,
2. make changes to the files, save the changes by committing them,
3. click "new pull request",
4. see the changes you made in the "example comparisons" tab where each changed file is listed,
5. when the changes are correct, click "create pull request"
6. if there are no conflicts to be resolved, click "merge pull request"
7. click "confirm merge"
8. now you have the option to delete the branch by clicking "delete branch"
