How to contribute

We assume you have git installed on your machine. If not, download it here: https://git-scm.com/

Step 1: Create a GitHub account

1. Create a GitHub account here: https://github.com/join
2. Create an SSH-key for your machine by executing ssh-keygen in either bash or Git-Bash. Follow the instructions. It's not a bad idea to protect the key with a password, but it's not absolutely necessary if you're on a private computer.
3. Copy the SSH-key that you find in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
4. Enter the SSH-key on GitHub, which will allow you to push code to repos for which you have access. This is the URL to do that: https://github.com/settings/keys

Step 2: Workspace Set-up

1. Make a project directory like so mkdir ~/mmn && cd ~/mmn
2. Clone this repository to your own machine. git clone [email protected]:MIMUC-MMN/assignments-16-17.git
3. Fork the repository: https://github.com/MIMUC-MMN/assignments-16-17#fork-destination-box (click the "Fork" Button)
4. Add the repository as remote origin: git remote add myfork <YOUR_REPOSITORY_URL>
5. Do this: git pull myfork master
6. Set the upstream branch to your own repo: git branch -u myfork/master
7. Push your code and when you're happy with it, create a Pull Request (PR) on GitHub.

Notes

• We will merge your repos as they are, but sometime we make small modifications or comments
• Make sure you keep your repository in sync with the origin like so git pull origin master && git merge origin/master. Resolve any conflicts on your machine before pushing.
• It's probably best if you somehow prefix your folder names with your initials / name / alias. Like so: darkwingDuck_task01, darkwingDuck_task02... you get the idea
