Pull request [how it can be done]

Shad86 edited this page Dec 26, 2017 · 4 revisions

In the past i had also problems on the beginning to push or make an pull request, so i thought i make a little tutorial because this question comes up a lot.

As far as i saw you can do it on the following way (if there is an easier way, feel free to show it):

STEP 01:DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL https://desktop.github.com/

Download that software, install it, and login with your github informations.

Then it should look like this: git01

STEP 02: BUILDING A FORK FOR EDITING

Go to:

https://github.com/Newcomer1989/TSN-Ranksystem

Click on fork - you may have to wait a little bit, then you have the fork waht you need to editing

git06

Now you can Download the Fork with a click on "Open in Desktop":

github03

Then it will open the software and it will ask you where to save the "clone" of it.

STEP 03 - SOFTWARE HANDLING AND EDITING

When your done it may look like this:

git03

Now you can edit things in the Folder where you saved it. The Desktop software will automatically acknowledge changes in the file itself. (You can also simply replace the file as long as it has the same structure - tested it - if its not working for you, you may have to compare the things and edit by hand.)

If you click on changes on the first start you can click there to find the folder again: git04

Here you can see what happens if you do changes in that folder: git05

after you're finish, write some hints into the summary and description, so that it is clear what you have changed.

Now you can click on the button right on the top "Pull request" and hey, you have made your first Github pull request! Congrats! :D
