For basic GitHub users (Edit on web UI)

Below is the community practice for you to follow in contributing to develop this curriculum via GitHub web UI.

• Create a GitHub account if you don’t have one already: https://github.com/

• Fork the below repository into your GiHub account. https://github.com/SLASSCOM/SLASSCOM-Bootcamp-Curriculum

• On the forked repository, goto the file you wish to edit, and click on the edit button.

• After editing a file, you should commit the changes (this is similar to saving).

• Edit all the files you need. Once the editing session is done you should submit your changes to the SLASSCOM repository. This is called creating a ‘Pull Request’. Go to the root of your local repository and click the button below to submit a pull request.

• You may similarly perform other file operations such as create new files, delete files, upload files, etc.

For advanced Git/GitHub users (Edit via cloning)

Below is the community practice for you to follow in contributing to develop this curriculum via cloning the files to your local machine.

• Create a GitHub account if you don’t have one already: https://github.com/

• Fork the below repository into your GiHub account. https://github.com/SLASSCOM/SLASSCOM-Bootcamp-Curriculum

• Install Git and clone the repository to your local machine

  git clone https://github.com/<your_username></your_username>/SLASSCOM-Bootcamp-Curriculum

• Add ‘upstream’ repo to your local cloned git repository so that you are able to obtain the latest directly from the ‘upstream’.

  git remote add upstream https://github.com/SLASSCOM/SLASSCOM-Bootcamp-Curriculum.git

• Do edits to .md files by cloning your fork to the local machine using an IDE.

• Always take a pull from ‘upstream’ before sending a pull request with following command. This will help reduce merge conflicts and increase the chance of your pull requests getting accepted.

  git pull upstream master

• Submit a pull request to the upstream repo via GitHub web UI of your fork.
• A moderator will attend to your pull request and accept, reject or request for changes.
