Want to see your name above?

GitHub is all about collaborating together to develop incredible stuff. If you are a beginner, you can start your GitHub career by contributing your name to the above list of my buddies on GitHub. How to do it? Simply follow the steps below -

  1. Go to my repository.
  2. Fork the repository. Learn about forking.
  3. Clone it into your local machine.
  4. Create a new branch, say edits. Learn about branching.
  5. Checkout to your new edits branch.
  6. Add a new HTML which describes yourself. Name this HTML file by your username, eg. vamsisangam.html
  7. Add a reference to your HTML page in index.html, under the "Meet these cool people!" heading.
  8. Save changes by git add and git commit. Learn about saving changes.
  9. Push your changes from your local machine to your repository on GitHub by using git push. Learn more about git push.
  10. Go to your edits branch in your forked repository in GitHub.
  11. Create a pull request by clicking on New Pull Request. Learn about creating a pull request.

Now all that's left is for me to review your code. If everything's cool I'll merge your contributions to my repository and you can see your name live on vamsisangam.github.io/hello-github/!

Before you race-off to code!

  • Your name in index.html my be put in order. Follow the dictionary order of existing names and find out the appropriate place to put your name.
  • Instead of adding a new HTML page you could just skip it and add a reference to your GitHub profile instead, or a link to your personal website (like I did!).
