GitHub
You have likely started to change the content of this repository in order to use it for mapping your own checklist. Saving the changes on your computer is important but unfortunately will not change the content of the GitHub repository online. All what you need is to commit and push the changes via GitHub Desktop. In this page you will learn shortly how to do it.
All modified, added or removed files are listed in the left pane in the Changes tab. Select the changes you want to commit by checking the box aside, write the commit title in the Summary field and push the button Commit to main (or master).
It is good practice to create logical commits: each commit should link to a specific change. In the screenshot above, we commit the changes in the R Markdown mapping file dwc_mapping.Rmd first, leaving the changes in the taxon.csv output file for a second commit later.
Our changes are saved locally and still not visible on GitHub! We need to push them to GitHub by clicking on Push origin button.
Don't forget to push your commits from time to time in order to maintain the repository synchronized with your work.
You set up the very first steps in the world of version control. We maintained it expressly basic. For more information read this guides about setting and using GitHub Desktop.
