We take pride in our poorly-drawn dinos™

And we've got the best collection anywhere in the universe™. Anyone who sends us a dino drawing will earn the dinoisseur badge, as well as get an exclusive emoji on Slack.

Hack Club stores all its code on GitHub, including this website, and the best way to make changes (such as adding a dinosaur) is by submitting a pull request on GitHub.

The first step is to make our dino. Don't worry about setup—we've included a full dino-drawing-a-tron below for you to use. Just click "next" and make that dino! You're also free to use a photo.

If you already know how to submit PRs to the dino repo, go ahead and read this.

Now you'll need permission to edit the dinos repo. We've just sent you an invite, and depending on your settings, it will be auto-accepted or you'll need to accept it here. If it doesn't show up there, check your email.

Go to the next step once you've accepted your invite.

Now go to https://github.com/hackclub/dinosaurs and click “star”. This bookmarks the repository in GitHub.

Afterwards, tab back to this page to continue.

Find and click the dropdown “Branch: main ▼”.

Type in

YOUR-DINO-NAME

Click “Create branch: YOUR-DINO-NAME”

Click “Add file” and add your dino image

Below “Commit changes”, type this into the first text box:

Add YOUR-DINO-NAME.png

Then click COMMIT CHANGES

Warning: Do not click the green button that says "Create pull request" just yet– we'll get there in a couple more steps.

Scroll through the list of files & find “README.md”.

To edit the file, click it & click the icon.

Add the following lines to the bottom of the file:

"YOUR-DINO-NAME"
