[lastrucci01]

Tasks

Include specific tasks in the order they need to be done in. Include links to specific lines of code where the task should happen at.

• [ ] Figure out the method used for updating dependencies.
• [ ] Create documentation for contributors of the repo to know how to maintain dependencies.
