SR UPGRADE COMMENCEMENT

1.  GIT tutorial
    For the first-time-user, one should download the project from Git repository.

    a.  git clone “url”
    This is done only once, since it downloads the whole project.

    b.  git add  -A
    This prepares the changes which are currently made, before any commitment

    c.  git commit  -m “message”
    This will save the changes that are made. Necessary before any pull/push

    d.  git pull
    This will (download) the changes that were made on the project in the repository

    e.  git push
    This will (upload) the project changes that were made on your computer

1.  updated PHP Laravel Framework from V5.6.* to V5.7.*
        after pulling (download) the project from gitlab repository,
        navigate to the project root directory
        and then,
        Run:
            "composer update"
            *without quotation!

        be patient... this will take a while...
