hi! please refer to contributing guide, there's a section for making symlinks: https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/tree/master/tools/work#step-by-step-guide
however, if you are very-very new to this, then let me explain a bit, because the contributing guide assumes you know your way around git. i assume you are using linux, right?
git checkout -b [branch name]
to create a branch and immidiately switch to it (that's what checkout does). it's a common practice to name branches according to symlink/icon you are making in it.git add -v --all
to automatically add all new/modified files and show which ones have been added. if we are talking about a symlink to an application, there would be 6 new files. at this point, git knows about these new files.git commit -m "Add symlink/icon for something"
to make and name a commit, then git push origin [branch name]
to send changes to a server. you'll be prompted with a login and then a password. github doesn't allow you to use your github password for this, you need to create an authentification token in settings > developer settings > personal access tokens. use this token as a password for git CLI. i hope that's it! you shouldn't need anything but the basics of git in order to contribute to Papirus. Feel free to ask questuons if something is unclear.
Thank you for responding. I will learn it.
