Walkthrough

Tweetdeck

1. Someone should have invited you to the Tweetdeck team- you'll get an email like this:

2. If you click "Login to Twitter", it should take you directly to the TweetDeck homepage. I'd also recommend grabbing the BetterTweetDeck browser extension.
3. Once you're at the TweetDeck homepage, go ahead and click "Add Column" and add a "Home" column with the @FreeBSDHelp account, like this:

4. You should now see a column with the "Home" label:

5. If I were you, I'd pop in columns for Notifications, Messages, and at least one List, so you can see everything at once:

You're all set! Bonus points if you used a *BSD to do this- I didn't, lmao.

GitHub

1. Someone should have invited you to the GitHub repo- you'll get an email like this:

2. Click "Join @bsdlabs" and you're in! You can edit the Team and FreeBSDHelp pages to add yourself to the team. Make sure you check out the Guidelines page too!

3. For non-trivial changes to documentation:

   • click the edit button

   • make desired changes and then choose the option to "Create a new branch for this commit and start a pull request." and click "Propose changes"

   • finally, open the Pull Request by clicking "Create Pull Request" on the screen that follows

More bonus points if you used a *BSD. :D
