In order to contribute to the wiki, the first thing you will need is Obsidian.
Next you will need a Github account (very easy to set up).
You will also need some kind of Git interface, if you are familiar with Git, you can move along, otherwise we recommend TortoiseGit and Git for Windows.
- Go to the GitHub repository and in the top right, click “Fork”. This will create a version of the repository that you can work with (only need v4 branch)
- Right click wherever you want to setup your local version of your new repository and click “Git Clone”
- In the URL section, paste in the URL of your GitHub repository. This might take a while to download.
- Now you can create, delete or modify files to build the wiki (information for understanding the wiki structure can be found here as well as how to add new entries here)
- Once you are done, right click on the local repository’s folder and click on “Git Commit → main”
- Click ok and click the “Push” button on the top left. You can also right click again, hover over “TortoiseGit” and select “Push” if you closed the window
- Click OK and now your changes will be uploaded to your repository
- To suggest those changes to the main repository, go to your repository in GitHub, select “Pull Requests” and click “New Pull Request”
- Make sure that the selected repositories below “Compare changes” look like this: rwtechwiki/rwtechwiki.github.io|v4 ← MyUsername/rwtechwiki.github.io|v4
- In the message box, write a general idea of what you changed
- Lastly, click on “Create Pull Request”. This will send your changes to the collaborators who will review and add them
