How to Submit Your Project

Follow these steps to submit your project for the TPAC Hackathon.

1. Fork the Repository

  1. Navigate to the top right of this repository and click the Fork button.
  2. This will create a copy of the repository under your own GitHub account.

2. Clone Your Fork Locally

Once you've forked the repo, clone it to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/w3c/hackathon-tpac-2024.git
cd hackathon-tpac-2024

3. Add Your Project

  1. In the cloned repository, navigate to the submissions/ directory.
  2. Add your HTML file to the submissions/ directory. Name your HTML file appropriately (e.g. your-username.html or your-project-name.html).

Important: Make sure your HTML file contains the following tags:

  • A <title> tag with the title of your project.
<title>Your Project Title</title>
  • A <meta name="author"> tag with your name or names, if you're working as a pair.
<meta name="author" content="Your Name" />
  • If your project uses CSS or JavaScript, please include them directly within the HTML file. Use a <style> tag for CSS and a <script> tag for JavaScript. This ensures that everything is self-contained and easy to display.

4. Commit Your Changes

Once you've added your project, commit your changes:

git add submissions/your-username.html
git commit -m "Add your project"
git push origin main

5. Create a Pull Request

  1. Navigate to the original repository at GitHub (this one).
  2. Click the Pull Requests tab.
  3. Click the New Pull Request button.
  4. Select your fork in the base repository dropdown.
  5. Click the Create Pull Request button.

Once your pull request is approved, your project will be live on the hackathon website!


We look forward to seeing your creative projects! Happy coding!
