How to work on the Codetables
Attention: We only work with CSV in UTF-8!
- Update your local repository (e.g. use sync or pull).
-
Go to branches, choose the branch related to your issue, open folder "tables_en".
-
Open table in excel, if the table is not appropriately displayed, check your language settings (control panel-->region and language-->formats-->settings-->list separator).
-
Alter table, save as CSV (comma delimited).
-
Check in Notepad++ (or alternative editor) if the delimiter is correct and the encoding is UTF-8.
-
If you want to work on your document before ‘publishing it’ you can choose to make commits without syncing. This will allow you to have version control whilst keeping the changes local to your computer initially.
-
Push your local GitHub Repository to the online/published Repository (this can be done via sync on GitHub Desktop). Enter a short message, this message will be displayed on Github in two ways:
You want to see quickly what changes where made in this branch in comparison to the master: Go to the GitHub repository, select the branch and open the folder tables_en.
Click on 'compare'. Now the changes and the commits done to this branch are displayed.
The result will look similar as in this example:
Attention: If you compare two branches, then the base branch will be as it was in the beginning (ignoring the changes you commited since then).
