I’m studying art, but decided to take a course in programming. We were recently given a github URL, cloning it produced an empty folder(except .git). We were instructed to submit a solution to homework as pull requests on that project.
I don’t want to mess up such a simple task, so I’d appreciate an advice on how to do the pull request. One of the things that bothers me are what parts of my folders and files do I need to include. I have folders like _ReSharper.Classes and packages (from NuGet), how do I handle those?
This is a good starting point for understanding Pull Requests:
http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/
Basically on Github, hit the fork button:
This will create your own clone of the repository. Commit your code in the new repo (if you’re completely clueless with git, check out a getting started guide like this).
When you’re done, hit the Pull Request button:
Enter an explaination of your changes and submit.
