Re: github expertise

There’s far too much to document on our own simple Wiki. Ultimately, searching through GitHub’s documentation finds a lot of answers. Consider this one about reviewing chnages in a Pull Request: https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.5/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/reviewing-changes-in-pull-requests/reviewing-proposed-changes-in-a-pull-request.

GitHub Docs has information on a lot of topics related to effectively using their platform.
