Steps to make edits

If you are unfamiliar with forking and submitting pull requests, here is a 4-minute guide to get you started.

1. Fork this repository.
2. Make your edits on the master branch of the forked repository and commit them.
3. Submit a Pull Request on the original (non-forked) repository, from your forked repository's master branch to the original repository's master branch, and an admin will merge it.

How to sync your forked repo with the original lab repo

If your local machine doesn't track the original repo, add it as a remote and fetch it:

git remote add valab-original https://github.com/gtvalab/gtvalab.github.io.git
git fetch valab-original

Confirm your remotes are set up correctly by running git remote -v. You should see something similar to:

origin  git@github.com:[YourUserName]/gtvalab.github.io.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:[YourUserName]/gtvalab.github.io.git (push)
valab-original  https://github.com/gtvalab/gtvalab.github.io.git (fetch)
valab-original  https://github.com/gtvalab/gtvalab.github.io.git (push)

After your Pull Request is merged, sync your fork back to the lab repo.

Warning: step 2 discards any local commits on master that aren't in the lab repo.

1. git fetch valab-original
2. git reset --hard valab-original/master
3. git push --force-with-lease origin master
