  • Login to Github or create an account.
  • Set up Git on your development machine:
    • You may use either shell commands or a GUI for GIt. I recommend using the shell because the commands are the same cross-platform.
  • Fork the Expertiza project
  • Make your changes, committing often, until your project is complete.
  • If you want more practice using Git and to help out the Expertiza team, you should merge the current upstream master branch back into your project before creating a pull request.
    git remote add upstream https://github.com/expertiza/expertiza.git #Add the upstream remote (expertiza/expertiza)<br>git fetch upstream #Get all current code from upstream<br>git merge remotes/upstream/master #Merge upstream with your current branch
    • Fix merge conflicts -- only keep parts of files that you have changed from your work. Everything else should be kept from upstream.
      • Your code is HEAD, and upstream is a hash (e.g. 3a8fe31).
    • Test the merged code to make sure the functionality of your project remains and nothing broke.
    • Push your merged code to your forked repository
git push origin master
  • When you are finished, create a pull request so that your code can be easily merged into Expertiza
    • Please create a pull request message detailing the changes you made in which files for your project.
