#How to contribute
##Issues
If you've found a problem with — or some gaps in — any of our data then you can let us know by raising an issue and we'll take a look at it when we can.
Alternatively, if you've got the technical knowledge and can help us improve our data to fix any mistakes that have been found then that's even better! Read GitHub's help pages if want to help but don't yet know how.
-
Create your own named branch
git checkout -b my-branch -
Make the edits to correct the data on your branch.
-
Commit your changes
git commit -am 'Fixed these errors <list>' -
Push to the branch
git push origin my-branch -
Return to GitHub and submit a pull request. We'll review your submission and, if everything looks good, we'll merge it into our master branch and close any associated issues.
##Discussion
Issues are also used here as a place for wider discussion and debate around Council data and how GitHub can be best used. Just add a new issue to start a new topic or suggestion and weigh in with your opinions.
