To contribute a patch you will need a GitHub account and you will need to fork
the exercism/lua repo to your account.
Clone your fork with the command: git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/lua.
Create your patch and open a pull request to the exercism/lua repo.
See the GitHub Help for forking a repo and creating a pull request if you are unfamiliar with this process.
To contribute a new exercise, create a folder named after the exercise within the lua/exercises directory. Create your files for a new test, test class and the implementation.
For example, for the Bob exercise:
$ tree bob
bob
├── bob_spec.lua
└── bob.lua
0 directories, 2 files
Run the test
$ busted
Rename bob.lua to example.lua, and add the exercise to the lua/config.json file.
$ tree bob
bob
├── bob_spec.lua
└── example.lua
0 directories, 2 files
