+# TICKETEE
+
+An exploration/experiment in open source for #CodeNewbies
+
+## Get Started:
+
+### Fork the app!
+![Click fork](doc/images/fork-project.png)
+### Download/clone the app!
+![Click clone](doc/images/clone-project.png)
+* Copy the URL in the clone with HTTPS window.
+* Open a terminal of your choice
+* Change to a directory where you keep your source code
+  * For eg. `cd ~/source-code`
+* Run the command `git clone [paste the url you copied here]`
+   * in my case I used `git clone https://github.com/shadowcliff/ticketee.git`
+
+### Open in your favorite editor...
+I use VSCode but feel free to use Atom/Vim/RubyMine or whatever. Import the project using your IDE (Or in VSCode merely open the folder you cloned it to).
+
+### Change some code locally...
+I'm using this Documentation as an example of my first pull request.
+
+### Commit and push your changes
+Either use your IDE to commit and push the changes or run:
+* `git add -A` 
+* ...to stage all changed files for commiting 
+* `git commit -m 'I changed some stuff to make stuff better`
+* ...to perform the actual commit. (Use your own commit message.)
+* `git push`
+* ...to push your commit to your account on github!
+
+### Create a Pull Request
+Open Github in your browser and click the create Pull Request button!
+
+### Wait for smoke (Feedback)
+Operators are standing by! Someone working on this project should either approve your PR or give you feedback momentarily!
