Continuing Members

We're moving from a model where everyone has a fork of the main repository to one where we work with different branches on the main repository. (The following instructions are weird.)

  1. Post a hello in the general slack channel including your github user name

  2. Delete the folder that contains your computation_hist repository

  3. GitHub Desktop will ask you if you want to clone or remove the repo. Select remove.

  4. Add the dhmit/computation_hist repo on GitHub Desktop
