Published on Feb 27, 2014How do you contribute to open source? In this video, I'll describe the easiest way to make a simple contribution to an open source project -- without using the command line, a text editor, "forking a repo", or even touching Git outside of Github. I'll also describe what kinds of contributions open SHOW MORE

                            A remark to what happening at 04:12 is: after clicking "Propose file change", it now 
                            goes to commit page instead of the pull request screen as shown on the video. One 
                            need to click the commit name (e.g. patch-1 if it is the first commit of your branch)
                            near the top of the screen to go to the pull request screen.

What if the project is huge and the issues involve things you don't even understand?

                            I am working through the Odin Project which is good but it took me ages to figure 
                            out how to submit my solution to the HTML/CSS project.I posted in all places (on the 
                            Odin website, on Google+ and others) and I finally got a reply (thanks hgducherne).
                            However I'm still waiting for the repo admin to accept my pull request, so this has

                            This video didnt help. I see it was uploaded 3 years ago but I wonder if that
                            would really matter. I'm trying to submit my solution to the Ruby: Ceasar Cypher project but
                            can't really figure out how to do it....it's on my Github repository entitled Odin-
                            Project. help :(
