|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Click profile icon → **"Your repositories"** → **"New"**
|
|
|
|
### Decide Repository Structure
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: Your naming choice determines your structure!**
|
|
|
|
**Single Repository:**
|
|
- Name: `my-project` (e.g., `dog-walker-app`)
|
|
- Structure: Specs + code together
|
|
- Use when: Small team, building yourself, simple communication
|
|
|
|
**Separate Specifications Repository:**
|
|
- Name: `my-project-specs` (e.g., `dog-walker-app-specs`)
|
|
- Structure: Specs only, separate code repo
|
|
- Use when: Corporate, many developers, clear handoff needed
|
|

|

|
|
```
|
|
Hi [Name],
|
|
|
|
I'd like to contribute to [project-name] using WDS methodology.
|
|
Could you add me as a collaborator?
|
|
|
|
My GitHub username: [your-username]
|
|
|
|
Thank you!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Then:**
|
|
1. Accept invitation from email
|
|
2. Check repo name (ends in `-specs`? Separate repo)
|
|
3. Browse structure (has `docs/`? WDS already!)
