How to Contribute to Guidelines and Templates via Pull Request (PR)

To propose fixes, improvements, or new content for the .tex files in this repository:

1. Clone the Repository
   • If you have write access, clone directly:

     git clone <repository-url>
     cd ThesisWork
     

2. Create a New Branch
   • Always create a new branch for your changes:

     git checkout -b your-feature-or-fix-branch
     

3. Edit the .tex Files
   • Open the relevant .tex files (e.g., HowToThesis/notes.tex).
   • Make corrections, add new content, or propose ideas.
   • Smaller changes are easier to review (you can do multiple).
4. Commit Your Changes
   • Stage and commit your edits:

     git add HowToThesis/notes.tex
     git commit -m "Describe your changes (e.g., fix typos, add section, propose idea)"
     

5. Push Your Branch
   • Push your branch to the remote repository:

     git push origin your-feature-or-fix-branch
     

6. Open a Pull Request (PR)
   • Go to the repository on GitHub.
   • Click “Compare & pull request” for your branch.
   • Fill in the PR description, explaining what you changed and why.
   • Submit the PR.
7. Review and Respond
   • Collaborate with maintainers if they request changes or feedback.
   • Update your branch as needed and push again; the PR will update automatically.

Best Practices:

• Make focused, clear commits.
• Use descriptive branch and PR names.
• Reference issues if relevant.
• For new ideas, add comments in .tex files or explain in the PR.

This workflow helps maintainers review and merge your improvements efficiently.
