How to contribute to an open source project (using wagtail.io as a prime example)
How to contribute to an open source project AND debug an installation problem at the same time.
In this video, we're installing wagtail.io on our computers, forking the main repo, fixing a few things, and opening a pull request to the main wagtail.io repository using Git and GitHub
These steps are to be taken lightly as most projects on the web are set up differently. It just happens to be Wagtail.io is using Vagrant but you might run into instances of projects using Docker, python venvs, pipenvs, or some other layer of abstraction. Always read the README files on GitHub for installation instructions as each project is different.
