How to work with us on Github

The following is a recommended ESIP STC Github workflow for collaborative document drafting:

  1. create a local copy of the ESIPfed STC repo git clone https://github.com/esipfed/stc.git
  2. configure remotes on local - specify the ESIPfed STC repo remote as 'upstream': git remote add upstream https://github.com/esipfed/stc.git
  3. fetch the branches and their respective commits from the upstream repository: git fetch upstream
  4. because we're using GitHub Pages for publication, gh-pages is our main branch
  5. log an issue in the stc issue tracker. Please use labels to classify your issue. If you need a new label to be created then please state this in your issue description.
  6. create a branch in your local repo which tracks gh-pages in upstream. The branch name should reflect the issue number you created above e.g. STC-1 git checkout -b STC-1 upstream/gh-pages
  7. make the changes in your branch & commit - with commit message please! e.g. git commit -m "STC-1 Clarify reference to Ontology Repositories as 'Semantic repository implementation' (SRI)"
  8. synchronise your changes with upstream: git push upstream STC-1
  9. now would be a good time to format (2 space indents please) and validate your HTML if you intend to include it within your pull request.
  10. within GitHub, create a Pull Request from STC-1 into gh-pages ... at this point, you might assign the Pull Request to someone else to check before merging
  11. EDITORS ONLY: within GitHub, Merge the changes into gh-pages ... then you will see the new commit version linked to and available from http://esipfed.github.io/stc
  12. bring all those changes back into your local repo: git fetch upstream
  13. rebase (don't 'pull' - because this creates another commit) changes on your branch: git rebase upstream/gh-pages

(you might also want to rebase local/gh-pages too)

Alternatively - send your text to the Editors via the WG email list.
