# Create a bingo card {#bingo}

Here's a specific suggestion for practicing "fork and pull".

The general workflow is laid out in chapter \@ref(fork-and-clone).

Jenny and Dean have a repository that makes bingo cards with R:

  * <https://github.com/jennybc/bingo>
  * Read the README to learn more about it!
  
Your mission:

  * Maybe find a partner? Or a couple of partners?
  * Fork the `bingo` repo.
  * Clone it to someone's local machine.
  * Create a new bingo card by making a file of possible squares.
    - Follow the instructions in <https://github.com/jennybc/bingo/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md> to see how to contribute a new card.
    - Protip: It's easy to be very funny, but create a very difficult bingo card. Remember to include some easy stuff so people have a chance to bingo.
  * If you're feeling virtuous, run the tests and check the package. Ask us for help! Or live dangerously and skip this.
  * Commit!
  * Push your changes back to your copy of the repo on GitHub.
  * Make a pull request back to the main `bingo` repo.
  * If your card is appropriate, we'll merge your request and it will become part of the package and available via the [Shiny app](http://daattali.com/shiny/bingo/).
  
**Special inspiration for useR**:

  * Make useR-specific conference bingo.
  * See this issue thread for lots of square ideas!
