Guidelines for contributing

• Use valid Markdown in your Markdown files
• When naming files, never use spaces and generally avoid capital letters
• Don't add large files unless absolutely necessary (e.g., resize your images to a reasonable size)

Initial setup

1. Fork the primary DAT3-students repo on GitHub
2. git clone URL_of_your_fork: copy your fork to your local computer (automatically defines your fork as the remote origin)
3. cd DAT3-students: change into the DAT3-students subdirectory that was just created
4. git remote add upstream URL_of_primary_repo: define the primary DAT3-students repo as the remote upstream

Recipe for submitting homework

1. git pull upstream master: fetch changes from the master branch of upstream, and merge those changes into your master branch
2. Copy your homework file(s) to your folder
3. git add . or git add name_of_file: stage file modifications, additions, and deletions
4. git status: check that you staged what you intended to stage
5. git commit -m "message about commit": commit any changes that have been staged
6. git push origin master: push your changes to the origin
7. On GitHub, create a pull request: ask the upstream to merge your changes into its master branch
