+#### Git-it Challenge Completions
+
+If you're working through the challenges in Git-it, you'll know most of this, but for the record: 
+
+- Fork this repository.
+
+- Create a branch named in this pattern: `add-<username>`, where username, not in brackets, is your GitHub username. 
+
+- Create a file inside of `/contributors` named `add-<username>.txt`, where username, not in brackets, is your GitHub username.
+  
+- Push your branch to your fork.
+
+- Pull in changes that @reporobot will make to the file (he's gonna awesomize your username!)
+
+- Submit a pull request to this repository against your `add-<username>` branch.
+  
+  
+#### Bug fixes to Patchwork Site
+
+If you're contributing a patch to the Patchwork HTML page itself, make sure the branch name for the branch you create for your changes **does not** include your GitHub username. As a part of the Git-it workshop that uses this repository, users complete the challenge on pull requests with a branch that includes their username. In order to keep bug fixes separate from workshop completions -- don't use your username in your branch :)
