Unless you know you have write access to the map, fork the map in Github
- Find the map repo, for example: http://github.com/triplea-maps/world_at_war
- Click the "fork" button
-
Next we're going to download a copy of the repository (or the fork, whichever we are using) by "cloning" it
-
Once the "clone" is done, on our local file system we'll have all the files we see in repo
-
Very importantly the clone goes into a single folder on your file system. Everything below this folder can be staged and uploaded to the repository. So if for example, you want to add images, you would drop them into this folder.
-
Once we are done doing updates, we then use git to find the files that have been changed, and we tell git to upload them, supplying a "change message" along with the files so others can see our message when they see the repository has changed.
