Add "Making a PR to SecureDrop" section in developer documentation #2531

Closed redshiftzero closed 6 years ago

redshiftzero commented 6 years ago

Description

At the Aaron Swartz Hackathon 2017, some people made their first contributions to an open source project. In addition to frustration with the development environment (that hopefully the eventual merge of #2523 will address), many contributors were seeking basic step by step git instructions explaining how they can make a PR: forking a repo, cloning it locally, branching off develop, etc. One attendee suggested we include a basic guide in our documentation with these steps clearly written out to aid first-time contributors to SecureDrop.

User Stories

As a first-time open source contributor to SecureDrop, I want clear step-by-step instructions how I can make a pull request so that I am not confused and frustrated.
