Create a fork of this repository under your account (see forking).
At the command line, enter the following:
git clone <your-fork-url>
Within your fork, create a branch whose name is your UNI. All your work should be maintained on this branch.
git checkout -b <your-uni>
Create a new Markdown file under the /people directory whose name is your UNI and file extension is .md. For example, for UNI mv2451, the file would be /people/mv2451.md.
On this page describe your academic/professional interests or projects you are currently working on in under 500 words. The following variables must be defined in the front matter:
---
layout: people
github_username: your-github-username
last_name: your-last-name
first_name: your-first-name
permalink: /people/your-uni/
---
After you've saved the file, add it to staging:
git add /path/to/people/mv2451.md
This is now included on the list of changes to commit.
In your commit message, state the page that was added. Below is an example of what the command should look like (see Git Commit Best Practices).
git commit -m "Add page `/people/mv2451.md`"
Your changes so far have been local. The following command pushes them to a new branch on your fork:
git push origin <your-uni>
Create a pull request from the branch on your fork to the master branch on the origin repository (see Creating a pull request from a fork).
After the majority of students have successfully created a pull request, the instructor will demonstrate the merged result.
