How to Contribute to a solution¶

Create a solution idea on the library repo https://github.com/teamaccessonline/library/issues
- This is to ensure someone else isn’t already working on a similar solution
- If the solution already exists proceed to the next step
- One of the repo admin will assign a solution folder number to the repo to ensure we do not run into naming convention problem. You will see someone comment in the issue regarding what number to use.
- Feel free to continue to build your solution until someone responds with the number. These numbers are assigned daily M-F. You need to know the number so you can publish your content in a branch called solution
Assign your self to a solution idea under the issues tab in the GitHub repo
Select a baseline postman collection to help get you started on building out the basic components of your solution
Once a number do a get pull to ensure you have the latest master branch
