Hey guys. This is a quick introduction on how to contribute to a git repo where you cannot commit directly to the repo. Website here: https://hackmelbourne.github.io/GitAlpha/
Click to fork the repo. A fork is an exact copy of the repo, but is owned by you. You can can change the contents of the forked repo and then make a pull request to merge into the original repository.
You can do this by copying the link to the repo and running git clone [link] in your terminal. Ensure you have git installed on your local machine.
Edit files in the local repository. After you are done making changes, commit the repo and then push the changes to the forked repo.
On GitHub, you can make a pull request to have it merged into the original repository. A collaborator of the original repository will check the changes and then merge the changes into the repository if the changes are satisfactory. Owners may make comments/suggestions on the code and code style before they are completely satisfied.
Congrats, you've made it. Look at some of our other open source projects to see where you can collaborate.
