GitHub

Contributions to the Exercism code base are made via GitHub.

As indicated by its name, GitHub uses git as its version control system. If you're unfamiliar with Git, the best online resource is Pro Git.

In case you are not familiar with GitHub and the contribution workflow, here are some resources that might help you getting started:
