+# Team Blockbuster Project
+
+## Project Description
+
+Team Blockbuster is creating a microservice Data Science application which will provide the ability to 
+query and display movie data based on various user inputs.
+
+## Motivation
+
+This application provides information for people who are curious about movie trends such as movies ratings across different countries, 
+different movie durations, specific movie genres and categories, etc. This information can help people working in the film industry or similar 
+industries in making important movie development choices.
+
+## Framework
+
+This microservice based application is built using a **Python Flask** framework where **ReactJS** will be used to create a frontend web-page where the user 
+can input data points and **Python** will be used to manage backend operations that generate the movie data based on the input data received. 
+**SQLite** will be used as the application's database.

+# Lab 1 Commit Process
+
+## Command Line Approach
+
+1. Open up a terminal window or command prompt.
+
+2. Navigate to a location of choice, where you would like to clone your repository.
+
+3. In a browser of choice, go to our GitHub Team 6 Project repository
+
+    * https://github.com/BUMETCS673/seprojects-cs673olf24team6
+
+    and click on the green “code” button, a drop down window will appear. Make sure you’re on the `local` tab.
+
+4. There are 3 GitHub link options presented that can be used to clone the repository. The following instructions will be for the SSH method.
+
+    * HTTPS
+    * SSH
+    * GitHub CLI
+
+    NOTE: I prefer the SSH way, assuming your SSH keys are set up. If not, GitHub has documentation regarding how to setup SSH keys at this link: 
+
+    https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account
+
+5. Once the SSH keys have been generated, please copy the link under SSH tab from the pop up window.
+
+    * The link should look like this: `git@github.com:BUMETCS673/seprojects-cs673olf24team6.git`
+
+6. After copying the link, enter the command below on the terminal that you opened previously:
+
+    * `git clone git@github.com:BUMETCS673/seprojects-cs673olf24team6.git`
+
+	Press enter and the repo should be cloned.
+
+    To verify, enter the command:
+
+    * `ls -l`
+
+    The `seprojects-cs673olf24team6` directory should be there.
+
+7. Once the project repo has been made, navigate into it by entering the command:
+
+    * `cd seprojects-cs673olf24team6/`
+
+8. Once in the repo, enter the following command to check the branch you're currently on:
+
+    * `git branch`
+
+    By default, it should be on the `main` branch.
+
+9. Switch to the Lab1 branch by entering the following command:
+
+    * `git checkout Lab1`
+
+    To verify that the branch is now `Lab1`, enter the command:
+
+    * `git branch`
+
+    There should be a special character (ex: `*`) next to a highlighted branch name that indicates what branch is
+    currently checked out.
+
+10. Make sure the branch is up to date with the latest commits by entering the following command:
+
+    * `git pull`
+
+    This will grab/pull the latest changes on the branch to your cloned repo.
+
+11. Open up the `team.md` file with a editor of your choice and make the changes.
+
+    * To check all current changes made on the local repository, enter the command: 
+        - `git diff`
+
+12. Once the changes have been finalized, enter the command:
+
+    * `git add team.md`
+
+    This will add the file to the Git staging area.
+
+13. To verify the correct file has been staged, enter the command:
+
+    * `git status`
+
+    This should show the current file(s) that are staged and the files that are ready to be committed.
+
+14. To commit the file, enter the command:
+
+    * `git commit -m "Enter a message reflecting the changes made"`
+
+    In the quotations, enter a appropriate message regarding the file changes made.
+
+15. Once again, to verify, enter the command: 
+
+    * `git status`
+
+16. Once the files are committed, push the committed files to GitHub by entering the command:
+
+    * `git push`
+
+    **NOTE:** 
+
+    In the case that commits have been pushed from another colloborator, follow the instructions the command line states to resolve any merge conflicts. This can
+    be done using merge tools or manually moving changes over.
+
+    Please follow the instructions from the link below to resolve merge conflicts:
+
+    https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/using-branches/merge-conflicts
+
+17. There are multiple ways to verify that the changes have been pushed to GitHub. Below are
+    two ways.
+
+    * From the cloned local repository, enter the command: `git log`
+        - A history/log of previous commits should be displayed in the terminal.
+
+    * On a browser of choice, navigate to:
+        - https://github.com/BUMETCS673/seprojects-cs673olf24team6/commits/Lab1/
