Getting started with collaboration.

Getting Set Up

GitHub has compiled a Quick Start Guide. That's probably the best place to start. I worked through all the sections. It took a couple of days.

Note, the second section is about setting up Git. FYI, I use GitHub Desktop. I followed this guide to Install and Configure it.

Collaborating

Once you're set up with GitHub, try the following. Don't worry, you won't break anything that can't be fixed. That's the great thing about Git and GitHub.

1. Fork the project on GitHub. This copies the repo to your account.
2. Clone the repo to your local machine. You can do this in GitHub Desktop. Click the Current repository dropdown, click Add, then click Clone repository...
3. Still in GitHub Desktop, create a new branch.
4. In Visual Studio, make some changes in Module1.vb and test.
5. Back in GitHub Desktop, commit the changes. Then push the changes back up to your GitHub fork.
6. On GitHub, create a pull request.
7. I will merge your pull request. Not only that, I'll even add your name to the Contributors list!
8. Once you're notified of the merge, log back on GitHub and click Sync fork.

Learn more about Git

Once you get the basics of collaborating, you might want to get a better understanding of Git. For that, take a look at this free online Book.
