Disruptive Expertise Submitting Guide

Double check everything is done

Be sure you’ve followed the project guide and have all the expected components!

Pull Requests

When you are completely done editing, you need to get your local changes (in YOUR repository) to the main Disruptive Expertise site that everyone sees.

Basically, you want me as the project manager to “pull” your changes from your repository to the “main” repository that makes the public website. In GitHub speak, this is called making a pull request.

If you have followed the assignment instructions, I will “accept” the request.

If you have not followed instructions, I don’t accept the pull request so that your page does not get merged with the main site. This process prevents mistakes, bugs, and misformatted pages from cluttering up everyone else’s hard work. You will get credit for turning in your assignment, but you are unlikely to get a high grade if your page is not working.

How to create a pull request

• Go to the homepage of YOUR Disruptive Expertise repository, and click the Pull Request nav link near the top.
• Click the Green New Pull Request button.
• GitHub will show you what changes you are making, line by line (a whole paragraph counts as a line). Verify that the changes are correct. You should see where you replaced the sample text and changed the names of the audio and image files.
• Click the Green Create Pull Request button.
• You should see near the top a green message that says Able to merge. If you don’t see that, you should just stop and send me an email.
• Click the Green Create Pull Request button.

You’re done!

After you make the pull request, there’s nothing else to do! If you notice that you missed a typo or something you can always make another change and another pull request. Thank you for all of your hard work to launch our new food archive! Once all the pull requests are approved, you should be able to see everyone else’s work at the main Disruptive Expertise website.
