Contributing to the Repository

Updating the PowerShell.org repository

So the first step to contributing to the DSC repo is to fork the existing repository.

The terminology is a little weird but the process, as well as some of the logic, is covered here.

By forking the repo you create your own copy of it that you can modify as you see fit.

Make your changes to the repository, this is where you add your new resource or fix whatever broken code you've found.

A couple good things to remember here:

Try and incorporate good practices and clean code
Get your repository looking the way you want the official repository looking
- Documentation like a readme file or some examples is really helpful

Once you've made your changes and you're ready to update the repository you need to submit a Pull request. This process is documented here.

One of the curators of the repository will look it over and if they don't find any problems they'll merge it to the main branch.
