  <description>&lt;p&gt;What happens after that Initial Commit to GitHub? This week on Merge Conflict we discuss how we go about starting new repositories on GitHub. Did you know that the README.md file is the most important file in your repository? We talk about how and what should go into it and what resources there are for learning markdown. Finally, we take a serious look into how to handle Issues and Pull Requests "properly".&lt;/p&gt;
