2. GitHub Tutorial for Beginners

1. Create a GitHub Account:

• Go to GitHub.
• Click on "Sign up" and fill in the required information (username, email, password).
• Follow the instructions to verify your email.

2. Access Repository and Request Permission:

• If someone else owns the repository, ask them to add you as a collaborator(in our case, please contact Joshua Baskaran).

3. For regular users:

3.1. After gaining access to the repository, you will be able to navigate through the project folders.

3.2. Switching to "dev_1.1" Branch:

• To switch from the current branch to the dev_1.1 branch we use at the moment, click on "main" and after select the "dev_1.1"

3.3. With the branch "dev_1.1" (or your selected branch) now active, you can freely edit any file. Click the edit button, make the necessary changes, and then click 'commit changes.'

3.4. Write a title for your modification, such as 'Update tromsoe.astro' add any additional comments if desired, and click 'commit changes' again.

3.5. If you wish to create a new file, navigate to a project folder. Click on 'Add new file' or 'Upload files.'

3.6. Specify the file name (1) and add the content(2). And just like in the editing process, when you finish the content, click 'Commit changes'(3) and choose a title for your modification."
