how do people get colleagues to be better about using/approaching git + GitHub? e.g. have two metadata colleagues who are trying to run scripts I wrote them, but don't ever pull down latest changes (with bug repairs after they report back) before rerunning, then blame the script (+ not the whole process).

@cm_harlow Two things:

1. You may need to improve the way you're communicating that fixes are in place. They can't be expected to just _know_ you've published a new version.

2. If you're doing 1., it's just a matter of repetition. Every time they say "it's broken!" say "make sure you have the latest version. Go to Github."

@deagle i've been telling them via email, in person, tagging them in the issues / discussion on the PRs.

@deagle i've also run internal workshop on using git/github (as to not target anyone but also say 'here's a branch, here's a PR, here's how to pull latest changes, etc.' + wrote those up as shared docs

@deagle i do think there is obvs something with the way I'm communicating, I just don't know what.
