If you don't have git on your machine, install it.
Fork this repo by clicking on the fork button on the top of this page. This will create a copy of this repository in your account.
Now clone this repo to your machine. Click on the clone button and then click the copy to clipboard icon.
Open a terminal and run the following git command:
git clone "url you just copied"
where "url you just copied" (without the quote marks) is the url to this repository. See the previous steps to obtain the url.
For example:
git clone https://github.com/this-is-you/gucs-wiki.git
where this-is-you is your GitHub username. Here you're copying the contents of the gucs-wiki repository in GitHub to your computer.
Change to the repository directory on your computer (if you are not already there):
cd gucs-wiki
Now create a branch using the git checkout command:
git checkout -b <add-your-name>
For example:
git checkout -b add-alonzo-church
(The name of the branch does not need to have the word add in it, but it's a reasonable thing to include because the purpose of this branch is to add your name to a list.)
After that open README.md file in a text editor. You must be familiar with Markdown, a lightweight markup language. Refer to this cheat sheet which gives information on how to use Markdown.
In this case, add your GitHub handle and Slack handle in appropriate place of README.md:, please note names are in alphabetical order of GitHub handle.
@github handle - slack handle(without @)
For example:
- @danivijay - Dani M Vijay
If you go to the project directory and execute the command git status, you'll see there are changes. Add those changes to the branch you just created using the git add command:
git add .
Now commit those changes using the git commit command:
git commit -m "<name-of-your-contribution>"
replacing <name-of-your-contribution> with your name of your contribution.
Push your changes using the command git push:
git push origin <add-your-name>
replacing <add-your-name> with the name of the branch you created earlier.
If you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a Compare & pull request button. Click on that button.
Now submit the pull request.
Soon I'll be merging all your changes into the master branch of this project. You will get a notification email once the changes have been merged.
