Simple Repository to teach how to submit a pull request. Note: The steps below are not a detailed guide. I am including them so that you know you are on the right track. You should search for a guide or use AI to help you find detailed instructions.
You should do the following:
- Fork the repository.
- Clone the fork onto your computer.
- Create a new branch for your commit.
- Add a text file named with your name (name.txt).
- In the text file give a short two-sentence introduction. Then add your final project idea.
- Commit your changes with a commit message. The message should complete the following sentence: "Applying this commit will ....". For example "Add intro and project for Chris Slade". Notice, you do not include "Applying this commit will". You will get marked down if you do not have the appropriate commit message.
- Push your changes to the origin. The origin is the forked version of the original repo on GitHub. The upstream is the original repo that you forked. You will want to make sure you push your new branch up to the origin. This should give you a URL that you can use to make a pull request.
- Visit the URL that you get on the command line, after pushing your new branch, to submit a Pull Request.
- You will have to wait for your pull request to be accepted by me, so it WILL NOT show up in the code area right away, but you should be able to see your pull request waiting, by clicking on pull requests at the top of the repo page on GitHub.
