 # make changes to try and reproduce the problem, such as adding components + stories
 npm start storybook
 
 # see if you can see the problem, if so, commit it:
-git init
+git checkout "branch-describing-issue"
 git add -A
 git commit -m "reproduction for issue #123"
 
-# create an new repository on github to host the reproduction, then:
-git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
-git push -u origin master
