2. How to Contribute

How to Contribute [Draft]

• Pull the latest version of development branch locally by using the following commands:

  Fetch the remote branches from github:

  git fetch

  On terminal, switch to the development branch locally using the command:

  git switch development

  Pull the latest changes from remote development branch locally:

  git pull

• Once the latest version of development branch is pulled locally, use the following two commands to create the new branch and push it to github respectively:

  git checkout -b dev/jasmeen/legacy-release

  git push --set-upstream origin dev/jasmeen/legacy-release

• Prefixing the branch name with dev/jasmeen might be used as an indicator that this needs to merged in the development branch of access-hive (staging branch deployed on https://access-hive.org.au/development_site/), and not the main branch.

• Work locally on the branch dev/jasmeen/legacy-release, and push the commits using the commands:

  git add .

  git commit -m "First commit"

  git push

• While working locally on the branch, please make sure to regularly pull changes from remote development branch into your branch, using the command:

  git pull origin development

  This would make sure that the local branch dev/jasmeen/legacy-release is always in sync with the latest changes in the remote development branch.

• Once the changes on the local branch dev/jasmeen/legacy-release is ready to be integrated with the development branch, create a pull request on github by changing the base to development. (Please find the below screenshot). This would create a pr on the development branch.
