Guidelines for adding contents

It is better if you keep a local copy of this repository in you machine. You can do this cloning the repository ( I assume that you have git installed in your computer.)

$ git clone https://github.com/tbs1980/CosmicCrossCorrelation.git

This will create a directory with all the files from the repository. BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE CONTENTS, please create a new local branch so that all changes you make are logged properly in this branch and thus does make things easier for others to contribute simultaneoursly. You can make a new branch (let's call this sree_testing_layout) by

$ cd CosmicCrossCorrelation
$ git branch sree_testing_layout

You can see all the branches insided the repository by typing

$ git branch
* master
  sree_testing_layout

The star on master indicates that you are currently in master branch. Move to your barch by checking out that branch.

$ git checkout sree_testing_layout
Switched to branch 'sree_testing_layout'

Now you are ready to make changes to the repository. At any time you may check the status of the repository by using the git status command. You will see something like below

$ git status
On branch sree_testing_layout
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

	modified:   .gitignore
	modified:   README.md

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

	doc/
	minutes/

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

If are ready to add these changes to the repo you can do that by the commands git add and git commit.

$ git add .
$ git status

Changes to be committed:

	modified:   .gitignore
	modified:   README.md
	new file:   doc/README.md
	new file:   minutes/2014_07_04.md

As you can see git has listed the files that were modified. Now you can commit these changes to the repo. Please note that I add a detailed commit message so that we get a detailed log of what is happening.

$ git commit -m "First commit to my branch. Added minutes directorya and mintes from 7th July. Also added a doc directory to hold the documentation. "
