Example: kucc2005
All PRs must include a commit message with the title of the sticker and a brief description of its motivation!
For the initial start, fork the project and use git clone command to download the repository to your computer. A standard procedure for working on an issue would be to:
-
git pull: Before creating a new branch, pull the changes from upstream. Your master needs to be up to date.
$ git pull -
Create a new branch from master:
$ git checkout -b [name_of_your_new_branch] -
Work - commit - repeat (make sure you're on the correct branch!)
-
Push changes to GitHub.
$ git push origin [name_of_your_new_branch] -
Submit your changes for review: If you go to your repository on GitHub, you'll see a Compare & pull request button. Click on that button.
-
Start a Pull Request: Now submit the pull request and click on Create pull request.
-
After approval, merge your PR.
-
GitHub will automatically delete the branch after the merge is done (they can still be restored).
