Contributing

Pick whichever of the following two contribution methods fits your style. Whichever method you pick, try to minimize your changes per PR, to make review quicker. Also try to avoid changing nonfunctional whitespace; ensure your editor is set to not convert spaces to tabs and vice versa, and try not to wrap/unwrap lines. A simple PR that visually checks out by eyeballing the HTML diff can be accepted quickly.

A note to git pros: We're working on the master branch during build mode to simplify the process for contributors. But if you're creating a PR and know how to do so using a dev branch, one branch per PR, please do so. It will speed up acceptance of your PR tremendously.

The web team hangs out in #nom_website at https://nation-of-makers.slack.com/ -- please come join us!

Contributing via CLI

1. Fork the repo on github, clone it, edit, push, and create a PR. You know the drill.

   If you don't know or don't want to mess with all that, then see the next section.

   If you do want to learn how to use git and github via the CLI, then go to Fork a Repo -- github folks write good docs.
