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.

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.
