Sustainable Living: Tips and Tricks for a Greener Lifestyle


The purpose of this repository is to get familiar with Git and GitHub's concepts, and practice some basic commands. In addition, the project aims to provide a brief guide of tips and tricks for a sustainable living by the Department of Management Science and Technology of the Athens University of Economics and Business.

First of all: Send your GitHub username to Ilias (if you have not shared it already), and expect an invitation to join as a repository collaborator.

Tasks

  • Clone this repository.
  • Add information about interesting things to do for a greener lifestyle to the guide.md file. (Create the file if it does not already exist.)
  • Contribute generously and in several categories.
  • In case you reuse other people's material, make sure to:
    1. rephrase the content, and
    2. add a reference to the original source.
  • Introduce new categories and organize things.
  • Feel free to add images and videos.
  • You may modify, fix, or improve existing content added by others.
  • Commit your changes.
  • Push to the GitHub repository (if required, pull and resolve merge conflicts).

Tips

  • Copy-pasting text is considered plagiarism, so make sure to rephrase it.
  • Configure your editor to use a spellchecker (in case you have not already done so).
  • Include links where necessary (e.g., locations, online courses, etc.).
  • Rearrange text if you think it should be organized differently—refactorings are always welcome!
  • You can include images and videos, but don't forget to commit and push them. Images and videos should be placed in the media/ directory. (Create the directory if it does not already exist.)
  • Again, use references for images and videos—you cannot reuse web content without citing the original source.
  • Be creative! Take it a step further by including a file with guidelines to contributing for newcomers, and a code of conduct file.

Grading System

  • Number of contributions—the more the better!
  • Completeness of each contribution (one-sentence contributions are considered "bad" contributions).
  • Breaking things comes with a penalty...
  • But, fixing others' breaks has a bonus!
  • Quality of commit messages—they should be descriptive (of the change) and concise. Default commit messages are not welcome.
  • Missing references in reused material is not welcome.
  • Content should be in proper Markdown format—check the Markdown Cheatsheet.
