How do you add stuff to github

[Archbob]

So with github resource lists like this one:

https://github.com/heyalexej/awesome-images/

I'm trying to add my resource to it but I cannot figure out how to do so.

In the instructions, it says

If you have a resource to contribute, make a pull request. Please just use add resource.com in your commit message.

What does that even mean?

Probably go through the GitHub tutorial.

https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/

Github is just a web frontend for hosting git repositories.

 

[Archbob]

I wish they'd make a web interface.

 

[Zelig]

What? GitHub is a web interface...

Git is an open source project not created or owned by GitHub, they need to keep compatibility with all the other git tools and hosting options.

Don't even try. It's painful and infuriating.

Perhaps the easiest way: https://desktop.github.com/.

I have only tried the old-fashioned way (installing a desktop application) and sent to a hello-world project I created myself.

It's really not, distributed version control exists because it makes so many tasks drastically faster and easier, after the initial short learning curve.

Seriously, the github tutorial takes maybe 20 minutes.

I refuse to work with any projects that don't use sensible version control. (git/mercurial for code, Pathio for Excel, some type of wiki for text/image data, or git/mercurial if the text/image data is generated using a static site generator)
