## Pull Requests

|
|
|
The preferred way to contribute is to fork the
|
|
[main repository](https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer) on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
1. Fork the [main repository](https://github.com/donnemartin/system-design-primer). Click on the 'Fork' button near the top of the page. This creates a copy of the code under your account on the GitHub server.
|
|
|
|
2. Clone this copy to your local disk:
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:YourLogin/system-design-primer.git
|
|
$ cd system-design-primer
|
|
|
|
3. Create a branch to hold your changes and start making changes. Don't work in the `master` branch!
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout -b my-feature
|
|
|
|
4. Work on this copy on your computer using Git to do the version control. When you're done editing, run the following to record your changes in Git:
|
|
|
|
$ git add modified_files
|
|
$ git commit
|
|
|
|
5. Push your changes to GitHub with:
|
|
|
|
$ git push -u origin my-feature
|
|
|
|
6. Finally, go to the web page of your fork of the `system-design-primer` repo and click 'Pull Request' to send your changes for review.
