So you want to help out with development? That's Fantastic. Here is how you can get started:

Overview of the process

  1. Initial Setup.
  2. Create a branch for your work.
  3. Make your changes.
  4. Commit your changes with a good Commit Message.
  5. Push your branch to your fork on Github.
  6. Create a pull request so we can review, discuss, and merge your changes.

Initial Setup

  1. Make sure you have a GitHub account.
  2. Fork the repository in GitHub with the 'Fork' button.

Commit Message

Some good rules for commit messages are

  • the first line is commit summary, 50 characters or less,
  • followed by an empty line
  • followed by a longer explanation of the commit if necessary

The first line of a commit message becomes the title of a pull request on GitHub, like the subject line of an email. Including the key info in the first line will help us respond faster to your pull.

Create a Pull Request on Github

Go to your GitHub repository at https://github.com/my-github-username/ucsf_identity_web_banner_templates, switch branch to your topic branch and click the 'Pull Request' button. You can then add further comments to your pull request.
