 # CSD Python API Scripts
 
-
 A repository containing scripts that have been created to leverage the toolkit found within
 the [CCDC portfolio](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/) that are accessible via
 the [CSD Python API](https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/solutions/csd-core/components/csd-python-api/).

 ## Downloading Scripts
 
-This section will focus on how to download multiple or individual scripts: 
-
-### 1. Downloading All Scripts 
+We advise that users `fork` the repository to ensure they can keep up to date with any modification.
+If you don't want to worry about having a GitHub account or are not confident with Git, you can download the scripts straight from this webpage. 
 
+The following section will outline how to download multiple or individual scripts: 
 
-#### Downloading Zip file: 
-Click `Code` and Select `Download Zip`:

 ### 2. Downloading Individual Scripts
 
-#### TODO - Add gif of downloading single file
-#### TODO - write instructions on how to download
+Once you've found a script/file you wish to download, click on it. This will show you the content of the file. In the top right of the file click `Raw`. 
+This will open the content in a tab where you can `Right-Click` in the text and select `"Save As..."`. 
 
+You will be asked to in your file explorer where you wish to save the file. Please specify the file extension at this point, by default `.txt` is used (For python scripts `.py` is required.)

+## Submitting or Modifying Scripts
+
+1. [Create a Fork of the repository](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/contributing-to-projects#forking-a-repository) (A fork is a copy of a repository that you manage. Forks let you make changes to a project without affecting the CSD GitHub repo. You can fetch updates from or submit changes to the CSD GitHub repo with pull requests.)
+
+2. [Commit your changes to the forked repository](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/contributing-to-projects#making-and-pushing-changes) (on a branch). 
+
+3. [Create a Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/contributing-to-projects#making-a-pull-request) to this repository.
+
+4. Once the code has been reviewed it can be merged into the CSD GitHub repo by someone from the CCDC.
