Sustainable Living: Tips and Tricks for a Greener Lifestyle

Image source

The purpose of this repository is to get familiar with Git and GitHub's concepts, and practice some basic commands. In addition, the project aims to provide a brief guide of tips and tricks for a sustainable living by the [Department of Management Science and Technology](https://www.dept.aueb.gr/en/dmst) of the [Athens University of Economics and Business](https://aueb.gr/en).

First of all: Send your GitHub username to Ilias (if you have not shared it already), and expect an invitation to join as a repository collaborator.

Tasks

• Clone this repository.
• Add information about interesting things to do for a greener lifestyle to the guide.md file. (Create the file if it does not already exist.)
• Contribute generously and in several categories.
• In case you reuse other people's material, make sure to:
  1. rephrase the content, and
  2. add a reference to the original source.
• Introduce new categories and organize things.
• Feel free to add images and videos.
• You may modify, fix, or improve existing content added by others.
• Commit your changes.
• Push to the GitHub repository (if required, pull and resolve merge conflicts).

DEADLINE: 2 April 2023 23:55

Tips

• Copy-pasting text is considered plagiarism, so make sure to rephrase it.
• Configure your editor to use a spellchecker (in case you have not already done so).
• Include links where necessary (e.g., locations, online courses, etc.).
• Rearrange text if you think it should be organized differently—refactorings are always welcome!
• You can include images and videos, but don't forget to commit and push them. Images and videos should be placed in the media/ directory. (Create the directory if it does not already exist.)
• Again, use references for images and videos—you cannot reuse web content without citing the original source.
• Be creative! Take it a step further by including a file with guidelines to contributing for newcomers, and a code of conduct file.

Grading System

• Number of contributions—the more the better!
• Completeness of each contribution (one-sentence contributions are considered "bad" contributions).
• Breaking things comes with a penalty...
• But, fixing others' breaks has a bonus!
• Quality of commit messages—they should be descriptive (of the change) and concise. Default commit messages are not welcome.
• Missing references in reused material is not welcome.
• Content should be in proper Markdown format—check the Markdown Cheatsheet.
