+==== 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>
+git fetch origin
+</code>
+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.
