2. Log in your GitHub account

4. Click Issues -> New issue

Write a title and comment to let me know you are going through these steps before a GitHubFun workshop and that you want to be added as a collaborator for the repo. Please introduce yourself by saying your name and the date of the workshop you are going to attend. I give these workshops multiple times a year and it helps to know which session you are going to attend.

After you create the issue, I get a notification. Please note that it can take a few work days for me to add you as a collaborator.

5. After I add you as a collaborator, you receive an email. In this email, click accept or decline
