4. commit the change to your fork

   • Option 1: From a git-aware terminal:
     • Checkout a new branch where you can track your changes
       checkout -b <my-branch-name>
     • Add the file you want to track
       git add README.md
     • Commit your changes to the page. Include a useful commit message. First line is title (<54 chars), rest is body (<79 chars / line)
       EDITOR=nano git commit
     • Push your changes upstream
       git push --set-upstream origin <my-branch-name>
   • Option 2: From a code editor:
     (to be added)

5. submit your pull request through the github website (pic of where to click for each of these)
