This is a repository for the W3C Web of Things Interest Group.

• Fork the w3c/wot repository into your own account (botton in the top right corner)
• Navigate to a file in your master branch that you want to change (e.g., http://github.com/{your-account}/wot/blob/master/charters/wot-ig-2016.html or http://github.com/{your-account}/wot/blob/master/charters/wot-wg-2016.html)
• Click the edit icon in the upper right (pen next to Raw/Blame/History)
• Make your edits (e.g., directly in the online editor or by copying the text to your favorite editor and back)
• Give a meaningful commit message (i.e., do not leave "Update ...")
• Choose Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request and give a proper name (e.g., charters-ig-scope-plugfest)
• Click Propose file change
• Skip the form, since you do not want to create a PR to your fork. Instead, go to https://github.com/w3c/wot, where GitHub will have found your new branch and will offer to open a pull-request (base fork: w3c/wot, base: master ... head fork: {your-account}/wot, compare: {your-branch}).
• If you have a separate change proposal for the same file, go back to your master branch and repeat the process from clicking the edit icon.
• If the pull-request discussion expects you to update your change proposal, go to your branch corresponding to the PR, click the edit icon, and commit directly to that branch.

• Fork the w3c/wot repository into your own account
• Create a branch in your fork for one particular topic (e.g., a single IG scope item) with a proper name (e.g., charter-ig-scope-plugfest)
• Make your edits and commit
• Push the new branch to your own repository fork
• GitHub will automatically offer to open a pull-request to w3c/wot (from your new branch to master)

• https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/ provides a tutorial on GitHub pull-requests.
• If you have not worked with GitHub in this way before, we will give direct assistance.
