how to contribute to this project using github
in short, fork the projects repo to your account repos, make changes, make a pull request (in the pull request tab in your forked repo).
that's how you contribute to a project on Github. i assume you know how todo a pull request from the forked repo to your computer and how to push the changes.
if you have no idea contact me ill show you how todo it.
to start forking the projects repo click on the fork btn:
to make a pull request click on the pull request tab in your forked repo and then click new pull request:
this guide assumes you know the basics of how to use git (clone, push new changes etc).
so to recap, fork the projects repo, make your changes do a pull request, wait for pull request to be approved.
or easier just contact me.
and don't worry if your pull request gets rejected, get used to it you will see it a lot in your life, I'm used to it,
its nothing personal, worst case contact me and ill explain everything.
but when your pull is approved:

and another thing: before you start working make a pull from master to make sure you have the latest code.
if there are conflicts (like two people edited the same 10 files and same lines, yay!), take a look at the code (use a compere tool there are plenty), most are solvable easily, maybe if there were updates to the master branch(or whatever branch) while you develop your stuff, try using merge to merge changes(backup everything just in case you mess up miserably), also test that everything works after merge.
and test your code to see if it works like it shod before making a pull request.
and use comments so I don't have to guess what your code does.
