 You will be prompted for username and password of owner of the Git distant repository.
-Edit (Fall 2019) : This actually doesn't work very well, see below for proper instructions.
+Atom has a built-in git feature that will automatically detect git repositories and has a useful GUI. To use it, your project root folder **must be directly** in the project tree manager. It cannot be in a sub-directory or Atom will **not** autodetect the git repository.
 If you want to set all of your branches to automatically use this remote repo when you use git pull, add --set-upstream to the push:

-This is the advised way to push to a new repo by Git Lab and works perfectly well with a Rust project.
+==== Branching ====
+//The following is still under test and uncertain, but seems to have worked already. The commands are probably not optimized (i.e. git pull calls git fetch already so it may not be required, but this needs additional testing to clear out//
+When creating another branch, to have it appear in Atom run the following command :
 <code>
-cd existing_folder
+git fetch origin
-git init //Skip if in a Rust project created with cargo, git is already initialized
-git remote add origin [Remote Repository Address.git]
-git add . //Not sure it's required, since the folder is already populated.
-git commit -m "Initial commit" //Feel free to change the message
-git push -u origin master //This is what actually pushes.

+This will fetch all the data in the origin's repository, which should be your remote repo if everything is configured correctly.
+Then run :
+<code>
+git pull origin <name-of-branch>
+</code>
+This should update the local repository to the current tip of the head from the branch you are pointing to.
+If this does not work, maybe it is required to create the branch in atom with the "new branch" button with an identical name but I doubt so.
