A collaborative project to build an evolving website/wiki to host, enhance, link, extend & update the university syllabus to help students find a way to connect their education to what’s new in the industry.
I have read the contributimg.md file and have a general idea about how things works here. Also I am just a beginner in terms with github related things. So I am aware that after forking this repo to my handle, I could make contributions. And I could Make changes to the files in the repo. But I have a doubt regarding making changes.
Open up the project in your favourite text editor, select the file you want to contribute to, and make your changes.Make sure to save the edits. - This is what it is written in the contributing.md file. But I would like to know whether:
Am I suppossed to make changes to already existing files,or can I make my own files and folders and then commit, and merge with the repo.
Can I create my own files and folders.
After merging my works ( new folders and .md files created by me) what am I suppossed to do then.
Should I simply open a pull request and which branch am I suppossed to compare with.( well, I am just a beginner and had only experience with 1 or two pull requests. So in all of them I compared the branch to be pulled with main branch of the same repo).
Or should I only merge my works from the local repo to the gihub repo using merge command and simply end it there.
This all questions arised from the confusion after reading the contributing.md file and due to my inexperience with github.
Also I got here after trying to click on some links on the #wikisyllabus channel in discord and searching for gtechatfg and has no further knowledge about wikisyllabus either. But well just had the desire to contribute something to this project thats all...
Hope someone could answer me.
I just want to know how I could contribte to the project. I found a lot of branches in this repo named after the contributors and I guess if I become one I would also own a branch.
So I had forked the repo to my github handle and had hope I could commit amd merge something's sooner.
@ what am I supposed to do after that. That is what I really want to know. That's all...
Help me get started with wikisyllabus
