CONTRIBUTORS and Contributors folders need to be deleted.

This is still an issue btw...

Hey!

Sorry, that folder is supposed to be getting periodically cleared so that it doesn't get so huge but that's apparently broken 😢 I'll open an issue for it on jlord/reporobot#40.

Yes, these 3 case-different folders are a PITA for Windows and Mac users, since the filenames/foldernames are case insensitive for these two OS.

I did this:

1. delete the CONTRIBUTORS and Contributors folder
2. creating a tmp folder and store my add-usernam.txt in it
3. rename this tmp folder to contributors. I'm not so sure, but I think git mv works better than mv alone in this regard: with the first one I get contributors/add-usernam.txt in y commit, but with the latest I get CONTRIBUTORS/add-usernam.txt. I'm too much of a beginner to understand why...
4. git status to check the only things that will be committed is contributors/add-usernam.txt (no deletion of anything)
5. commit/push/pull-request

My pull-request has been accepted, and I now have my name on the webpage!

... but I can't see my file in the contributors folder of jlord's depo ¯_(ツ)_/¯

anyone else stuck theres another "Patchwork" folder within patchwork that contains "contributors":

• Lesson 7 Branches Aren't Just For Birds
• cd Patchwork
• when you get to "$ git add " put "git add contributors/add-yourUsername"
