Contributing to this JupyterBook course on quantum chemistry

Create a working repository and branch

1. Fork the repository by clicking on the Fork button in the top-right corner. This creates a new copy of this repo under your GitHub user account.

2. Clone the repo using git clone (for now the name of repository is IntroQM2022) using this link: QC-Edu/IntroQM2022.git

Once the repo is cloned, you need to do two things:

1. Create a new branch by issuing the command: git checkout -b new_branch

2. Create a new remote for the upstream repo with the command: git remote add upstream https://github.com/QC-Edu/IntroQM2022

In this case, “upstream repo” refers to the original repo you created your fork from. Also you can take a look at “Workflow summary” section here

Now, you can make changes to the file(s) you want to change.

Make a pull request

When you’ve finished your changes, add, commit and push them using git add, git commit and git push -u origin new_branch commands respectively.

Once you push the changes to your repo, find and click Compare & pull request button at your GitHub repo.

Open a pull request by clicking the Create pull request button. This allows us to review your contribution.
