The GitHub way: create a pull request

First Fork our repo by clicking on the Fork button on the top-right corner. This creates a new copy of the repo under your GitHub user account under the url
```
https://github.com/<YourUserName>/differentialprivacy
```
You can skip this step if you have already done so previously.

Next, clone the repo by running the command:

# Clone with ssh. You can also clone with https.
git clone git@github.com:differentialprivacy/differentialprivacy.git
cd differentialprivacy/
# Add the remote (original repo that you forked) and call it “upstream”
git remote add upstream https://github.com/differentialprivacy/differentialprivacy.git

If you have already forked the repo before, you should skip this. But you may want to update the forked repo with git rebase:

# Fetch all branches of remote upstream
git fetch upstream
# Rewrite your master with upstream’s master using git rebase.
git rebase upstream/master
# Push your updates to your own master. You may need to force the push with “--force”.
git push origin master --force

Create a new branch by
```
git checkout -b gauss_mech
```
where gauss_mech is the name of your new branch.

Now that you are inside this new branch, you can add or change contents. For example, if you want to create a new post, the following code will create a pull request under your branch

cd _post/ # go to the post directory
echo “some test file” > test.md # toy example of a new post
git add test.md 
git commit -m "Adding a test file to this branch"
git push -u origin gauss_mech

The editors will review your edits and merge the edits if they are good!
