## Adding something to an awesome list
|
|
|
|
If you have something awesome to contribute to an awesome list, this is how you do it.
|
|
|
|
You'll need a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join)!
|
|
|
|
1. Access the awesome list's GitHub page. For example: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
|
|
2. Click on the `readme.md` file: ![Step 2 Click on Readme.md](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/170270/9402920/53a7e3ea-480c-11e5-9d81-aecf64be55eb.png)

4. You can start editing the text of the file in the in-browser editor. Make sure you follow guidelines above. You can use [GitHub Flavored Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/). ![Step 4 - Edit the file](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/170270/9402932/7301c3a0-480c-11e5-81f5-7e343b71674f.png)

## Updating your Pull Request
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, a maintainer of an awesome list will ask you to edit your Pull Request before it is included. This is normally due to spelling errors or because your PR didn't match the awesome-* list guidelines.
