Using GitHub

We use GitHub to manage our workflow and keep track of our updates to the website. While it might be a new tool for you, it helps us to organize and manage our work. You can always see requests you've made and who is assigned to work on your issue. Please reach out to any team member if you need assistance in working with GitHub via GitHub or by email at onrrweb@onrr.gov.

Step 1: Create an account

Follow the directions on github to create an account.

Step 2: Sign up for email notifications

Once you set up your account, sign up for email notifications so you will receive notification of anything related to an issue you created or if someone else needs your help or review of an issue.

Step 3: Request an update to ONRR.gov

When you need to make an update to the site, go into GitHub and create a new issue. GitHub has instructions on creating issues if you need more help.

Once you create the issue, we will either make the requested change or reach out to you for clarification.

Once the change is made in the development site, we will comment on your issue with an @yourusername and the development site link.

You will receive an email that it is ready for your review so either respond to the email that you approve the change or comment back to us in GitHub that you approve the change and then we will go live. We will close the issue once the change is live on onrr.gov.
