After you create or modify the files in your forked repo, to contribute those changes to the project:

  1. Make sure that you can see those changes in your version of the github.io documentation.
    This is very important. If you can’t see your changes, something went wrong and you must fix it before you continue!
    1. The first place to look is to make sure you do not have any bad metadatain a file.
    2. The next place to look is to make sure you didn’t link an image wrong.
    3. If you still don’t see your changes, you’ll need to ask for help.
  2. If you see your changes in your version of the github.io documentation (i.e. at the link in your repo’s Settings tab, in the GitHub Pages box in the Options view), you can continue.
  3. Send your pull request to the https://github.com/rbwatson/GoBabyGo repo.
