1. On GitHub:

   1. Go to our test repo (in our test organization) here

      

   2. Clone the repo to your local machine

2. In GitHub Desktop: make a new branch and switch to it
3. In any text editor:

   1. Create a new markdown file called yourfirstname-yourlastname.md

   2. Add a sentence or two to the file about yourself, e.g.,

      

   3. Save this file into the (top level of the) repo

4. In GitHub Desktop: Commit this new file into your new branch
5. In GitHub Desktop: Push your new branch upto GitHub
6. On GitHub: Open a pull request from your branch to the main branch in which you select a reviewer (Tom/Venexia/Elsie)
7. In your text editor and GitHub Desktop: Make any changes requested by the reviewer and add these to your PR - hopefully your pull request will then be merged by the reviewer!
8. On GitHub: Delete the branch you made your pull request from
9. In GitHub Desktop: Pull down the updated master branch to your machine … in a real workflow you would then make another new branch and do more work…
