• Contribute to the Reference

    published on May 27th, 2009   -   Comments Off

    Many visitors have written in to let us know they found our PHP to Ruby Reference useful and have asked how they can contribute. We’re pleased to announce that the source files for the reference are now hosted on GitHub and we’re accepting contributions.

    If you haven’t tried Git or GitHub yet, this would be a great excuse. Visit the GitHub Guides for a collection of resources that will help get you started.

    Here’s what you’ll need to do to contribute:

    1. Create a GitHub account for yourself.
    2. Fork our repository by clicking its Fork button.
    3. Clone your fork so you can work on it locally.
    4. Make changes, commit them locally, then push your changes to GitHub.
    5. Send us a Pull Request by clicking that button on your GitHub repository.

    That’s all there is to it. Please do not send us pull requests until you’ve checked the changes or additions you’ve made and they are ready to be merged. We’ll periodically review your contributions and update the website.

    Finally, if you haven’t picked up the Rails for PHP Developers book yet, it’s available in paper and PDF format. The back of the book includes about 120 pages of additional reference material not found online.
