Before Your First Pull Request

Thank you for your interest in the We Vote WebApp project. Please let us know if we can help you get started. (contact info: https://github.com/wevote)

This document includes the steps you need to take before your first We Vote pull request. We recommend reading “What the Heck is a Pull Request?” before following these steps.

Please sign the Contributor License Agreement before getting started.

Get Your Command Line Ready

cd /Users/DaleMcGrew/NodeEnvironments/WebAppEnv/ # Activate your node environment

. bin/activate

cd /Users/DaleMcGrew/PythonProjects/PersonalGitForks/WebApp # Change to directory where you checked out your Personal Fork from github

Before creating a branch to work in, first make sure you’re on your local master branch git checkout master

Next, make sure that master is in sync with the upstream source of truth: git fetch upstream and then git rebase upstream/master Or, if you prefer git pull upstream master --rebase

Connect Your Personal Fork To wevote/WebApp

cd PersonalGitForks/WebApp vi .git/config

Replace the “url” connection string under [remote “origin”] with:

url = git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_ACCOUNT/WebApp.git

Make sure your [remote “upstream”] lines look like this:

[remote "upstream"]
        url = git@github.com:wevote/WebApp.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

Run this command to confirm your setup:

git remote -v

You should see:

origin    git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_ACCOUNT/WebApp.git (fetch)
origin    git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_ACCOUNT/WebApp.git (push)
upstream    git@github.com:wevote/WebApp.git (fetch)
upstream    git@github.com:wevote/WebApp.git (push)
