Forking the repository

In order to make changes to the website, first fork it to your account. This must be done so you can work on it independently.

• Go to the repository
• Press the fork button in the top right of the screen
• Choose your account as the destination

Cloning to your computer

Now that you have your own fork that you can work on without disrupting the main site, clone it to your computer so you can work on it.

• Go to your fork of the VikingHacks website. The name of the repository, located at the top left of your screen should read /vikinghacks.github.io and not VikingHacks/vikinghacks.github.io
• Click the green Clone or download button just below the button that displays the number of contributors
• Click open in desktop
• Once the desktop app opens, save the code somewhere in your computer
• Make sure to click Update from VikingHacks/master in the top left of the GitHub Desktop App regularly after selecting this repository in the left hand side panel

Making a Pull Request

After you get the code on your computer, and make some amazing contributions to our website, you now need to get those changes back to the main fork of our website in order for those changes to show up.

• After selecting this repository in the left hand side pane in the GitHub Desktop app, type a summary of your changes in the appropriate text box in the lower left hand side
• Click the commit button right below the text boxes. This saves the changes locally
• Now press the sync button in the top right hand side (across from the Update from VikingHacks/master button we talked about earlier)
• Now that your changes have been synced to your fork, go to your fork on GitHub.com
• Click the new pull request button on the top left of the screen (across the from the CLone or download button we talked about earlier)
• Confirm the creation of the pull request
• Now just sit back and wait until the VP of Tech takes a look at it
