Making Contributions

Before anything else and every time you are going to work on the application you need to get all recent updates

in the directory run

git pull #pull updates

Then once you want to work on something create a branch, these are created for each component of the application. Use a name that describes a component of the app you are working on.

git checkout -b branch_name. # create and goto branch

Once you are finished you can push branches to the repo on GitHub using

git add . #add all updates
git commit -m "a message saying what you did"  # commit a message
git push -u origin branch_name # push your branch and updates to the repo

Then on the GitHub site in the repository, you can see your pull/merge request and accept them.

Once merged you can return to the main branch

git checkout main.  # return to the main branch
git pull # pull the updates you merged
git branch -d branch_name # delete your old branch
