How to Contribute

So you want to help but don't know how? Check this out:

  1. Set up a working copy on your computer. (if you've forked it already go to #2! )

    Firstly you need a local fork of the the project(if you didn't already!), so go ahead and press the "fork" button in GitHub.

  2. Then, create a branch for your new changes to sit in. It helps to call the branch something related to the changes you are going to make:(here hs-footer is the branchname, using your initials is a good idea to easily see who made the branch)
    3. git checkout -b hs-footer
  3. Do some work. This is the fun bit where you get to contribute to the project.
  4. After all changes are complete, (here branchname is hs-footer:)
    • git add --all
    • git commit -m"message of changes"
    • git push -u origin hs-footer
  5. Go to django girls light and leadership github page.. Your branch name will be there and a green button that says 'compare and pull request'. Click it!
  6. Review by the maintainers.
  7. If sucessful your contributions will be accepted and merged to the master, if not check the comments and edit your code.

Make sure to always 'git pull' before starting work on the project to keep it up to date. After you've finished your work 'git push -u branchname' to your local repo and if you've finished and are happy do a pull request.
