Forking the repository
Background information about forking: Github Documentation
A fork is a copy of a repository.
Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project. This is something you’d want to do on a regular basis, to make sure that your changes work and do not affect any other part of the project in an adverse manner.
These are the steps to follow:
- Navigate to the repo, and click on the
forkbutton. - This should create a repo with the name of the form
YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY
Cloning the forked repository
Background information about cloning: Github Documentation
When you clone a repository, you copy the repository from GitHub to your local machine.
These are the steps to follow:
- Open your terminal window, and navigate to a newly created folder. An example implementation is:
mkdir MyIntrocd MyIntro
- Then, go to your forked repository, click on the green code button and copy the link provided.
- Then, go to your terminal and paste it. It could be of the form,
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY
Adding your files and information
Now for the fun part!
You’ll need the following files ready:
- A background picture for your post. Call it
YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER-BACKGROUND.jpg
Now, open your code editor of choice, and add the image as follows:
- Add
YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER-BACKGROUND.jpgintoimgfolder.
For the post itself, we’ll use the follwing format:
Filename: 2021-01-01-<YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER>.markdown
---
title: "YOUR-NAME"
subtitle: "About Me"
author: "YOUR-NAME"
image: "img/YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER-BACKGROUND.jpg"

Committing and Pushing your changes
First, let’s add the files. This is done by performing the following commands:
git add img/YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER-BACKGROUND.jpggit add _posts/2021-01-01-<YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER>.markdown
Now, type git status. It should be all green.
Now, we commit our files by typing git commit -m "Added files for YOUR-ROLL-NUMBER".
Finally, we push the changes by typing git push.
Confirming the pull request
Go back to your created repo on github and click on the Compare and Pull request. Add relevant additional information, and you’re done!
