#How to contribute

The tutorial is split into many html files located in tutorial/src/ to make it eisier to find what you are looking for and make quick edits to each section.

To start:

• Fork this project and clone your fork to your local machine
• Make edits to the appropriate html file located intutorial/src/

To test on your local machine:

• In your terminal navigate to the root of this project example: cd Splatformer-Tutorial/

• Use this simple command to create the compiled index.html file:

cat src/*.html > index.html

This command simply smashes all of the html files in tutorial/src/ together into one big file, maintaining the alphabetical other they are in (each file begins with a number).

• Open the resulting index.html file in your browser and confirm that your changes were made successfully.

• Submit a pull request and add some notes on the reason for your change.

The tutorial is manual uploaded to http://splatjs.com and I can update it as needed.
