Contributing

We welcome students and others to help keep the skill current.

Be courageous - all changes will need to be approved and you can't break the deployed version.

This is a great way to practice contributing to open source software projects - we'd love your help!

Follow the short guide below. If you get confused, a quick web search will usually answer any questions.

1. GitHub

Create a free account on GitHub.

2. Copy To Your GitHub Account

  • Log in to GitHub.
  • View this repo.
  • Click the Fork button to copy this repository/repo into your account.

3. Update Your Copy

Use the online editing capabilities in GitHub to modify the source files in your copy of the repo with new information:

  • Update games.json with a new schedule.
  • Update config.json with new victory text (or other info).

Copy your code into an online JSON formatter/linter to check the syntax - code is very, very picky.

Follow existing conventions - for example, keep location infomation exactly as shown. Locations must match exactly for Alexa to recognize "home" games.

4. Make a Pull Request

When done editing your code, create a "Pull Request" that will make a request to pull your changes into the deployed version of the repo.

Be patient - we're in GitHub quite often, but reponses may take a week or so (depending on where we are in the semester).
