You need to remove the "jebou" commit arilaakk@d362d78. This might the correct instructions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20765030/git-remove-a-commit-from-pull-request Also I would like to see little more details on each numbered point. Maybe it's easy when somebody is showing you want to do and from where to download, but that is the exact information we want to have in the Contributing.rst document. The whole idea is that we would have a tutorial, which will guide a new contributor from github registration to the first pull request. |
I have couple of improvements for this
|
Hint: Also good habit is always do |
A little off topic but anyway. Contributor should check that his own branch is most recent before making a pull request. We are having exactly this situation with Lexicon.jl, see https://github.com/JuliaFEM/Lexicon.jl (we're 4 commits behind). Maybe @ovainola could describe how to "refresh" outdated branch. "What to do if your branch is outdated?". |
offtopic, Lexicon.jl is now updated. Here's an instructions, how to refresh outdated branch: https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/ |

Ok, I'll do the changes. Getting my first pull request under review was also part of the git learning process |

For number 4 (building Julia to the computer), I found good and precise instructions for all platforms at Julia readme (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/master/README.md). Would it be best if I referred straight to it? Or does it contain too much information? |
Ok so I did some modifications. The instructions are a lot more precise now, they basically cover everything I have done so far. I also added some styling. |
I think this is good now. |
I agree, It has all the major points covered |
Done as requested. |
Yesterday wrong clicks. Now this should be merged. |
Added basic contributing steps. The other one can be discarded
