This repository is full of helpful links for people who are just learning to code! Below you'll find the instructions on how to contribute to the list of helpful links. If this is your first time coding or you're a veteran who wants to learn something new or just explore, this is the place for you. This is a beginner-friendly resource!

I'm borrowing a lot from github docs for this writeup
Fork this repository with the Fork button on top right of screen
You should now have a copy under your name ie yourname/resources
Navigate to your fork of the project Select the dropdown on the green clone or download button and copy the url
In command line type the url:
git clone https://github.com/yourname/resources.git
Change directory into your project:
cd resources
git remote add upstream https://github.com/GlasgowCoderCollective/resources.git
You can check the remotes are set correctly with:
git remote -v
It should print something like this:
origin https://github.com/yourname/resources.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/yourname/resources.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/GlasgowCoderCollective/resources.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/GlasgowCoderCollective/resources.git (push)
You should check regularly to see if there's any changes in the original code by fetching them
git fetch upstream
Checkout your fork's local master branch
git checkout master
Merge any changes from upstream/master to your local master branch.
git merge upstream/master
Make changes in the index.html file adding your link to some helpful resource, copying the entire links div and editing to include the url and some descriptor. Save any changes
git add index.html
Now make a commit
git commit -m "add my link"
At this point you've got your changes on your local copy of the code (on your computer) and you've told git about it by adding and committing. Next you want to push the changes up to your remote copy (your fork on github)
It's a good idea to redo the check for changes section to include anything and avoid problems
git push origin master
your code should now be pushed to your remote.
In github in your fork, refresh if it was still open
Select the "new pull request" button
