How to contribute to a repo

• Requirements:
  • git

1. Fork target repo you want to make changes to

• use github web ui

NOTE

• If you have an existing fork, do not delete it.
• Instead, update your fork's master branch

export GITHUBUSERNAME="your github name"
export GITREPONAME="git repo name"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/$GITHUBUSERNAME/$GITREPONAME.git
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git merge upstream/master

2. Create Ticket/Card in Trello

• Format ISSUEID-00000X
• example: Securethebox Trello Board: https://trello.com/b/2Qxn34Ok/securethebox

3. Make a new branch before git adding files

git checkout -b ISSUEID-00000X

4. Get git status and remove any files you do not want

git status
git checkout /path/of/unwanted/file

5. Add files

• All files

git add .

• Single File

git add /path/to/file

6. Add any secret files to .gitignore file

• this will make git ignore files before publishing

7. Make a commit

git commit -m "Updated some file"

8. Push commit and branch to your fork's branch

export CURRENTGITBRANCH=$(git branch | grep \* | cut -d ' ' -f2)
git push --set-upstream origin $CURRENTGITBRANCH

9. Open to your github page pull request

export GITHUBUSERNAME="your github name"
export GITREPONAME="git repo name"
open https://github.com/$GITHUBUSERNAME/$GITREPONAME/compare/master...$GITHUBUSERNAME:$CURRENTGITBRANCH?expand=\"

10. Merge your branch

• Use ui

11. Sync your clone fork master branch with origin master

git checkout master
git pull
