Using Git and GitHub - GlobalTsunamiModel/gtm_planning GitHub Wiki

Permissions

  • Anyone with a GitHub account should be able to raise an issue (or comment on one) in any of the repositories. Click on "Issues" at the top of the GitHub page for a repository.
  • The wiki pages can be viewed by anyone, but only edited by those with permission.
  • Anyone can clone any of the repositories to get all the files (and all the history of revisions).

Contributing to repositories

If all else fails, send the files by email to one of the organizers.

If you want to contribute to a repository, the best way is to:

  • Fork the repo to your own GitHub account,
  • Clone it from there,
  • Modify, add files, etc. on your computer,
  • Commit your changes, push back to your GitHub,
  • Issue a Pull Request to request that these changes be incorporated into the GlobalTsunamiModel repository.

If you're not familiar with this process, see for example https://help.github.com/articles/proposing-changes-to-a-project-with-pull-requests.

There are lots of tutorials and help on line, e.g.
