Primer on adding or updating a language file used in Human Connection
Getting the current files as base for changes
-
Checkout the current repository if you have not done yet
git clone https://github.com/Human-Connection/Human-Connection.git -
Update an already existing repository to the most recent state
git checkout master
git pull upstream master
-
Create a branch for your coming changes based on the language code for your language. For a list of all the codes based on ISO-639 see Wikipedia. Use the two-letter code in column 639-1 like en or de.
The branch name should help recognise what is happing in it. As a suggestion you could use the following pattern:
- Start with update for updates, new for new languages
- One minus sign
- Your two-letter language code
- Optionally another minus sign and short details if needed. Maybe a date or a release number if appropriate.
- Do not use spaces in the branch name, replace them with underscores instead.
For example: update-it-rev_1.2.3
git checkout -b update-it-rev_1.2.3
