About AMurkin/CDDA-GitHub-Start
This repository is a beginner's guide for contributing to Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, an open-source post-apocalyptic survival game. It walks new contributors through the GitHub workflow needed to participate in the project, starting from creating a GitHub account through forking the main repository and setting up GitHub Desktop.
The guide covers essential steps like keeping a local fork synchronized with the main CleverRaven repository, creating feature branches for changes, and submitting pull requests. It includes practical warnings about common mistakes, such as accidentally pushing to the wrong remote or creating commit errors when branching through GitHub Desktop's interface.
The repository also points contributors toward entry points for involvement, listing resources like the "Good First Issues" label, project boards, and lists of easy jobs maintained by the main CDDA project. It references the project's code style guide and manual of style to help new contributors follow established conventions when submitting their work.
