+* Create a topic branch from your fork of [puppetlabs/beaker](https://github.com/puppetlabs/beaker). 
+  * Please title the branch after the beaker ticket you intend to address, ie `BKR-1234`.
 * Make commits of logical units.
 * Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
 * Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.
