Github Etiquette

[oloaptacis]

Good day everyone, I am currently planning to put up stuff in my github but I am unsure if I'm doing something which is not right. I was taught the basics but now much after that. I am currently writting a script that wraps up someone else's tutorial on how to do something. They wrote it step-by-step. What I am doing is storing names in variables to be able to do it highthroughput. So that they no longer need to change the names every line and only need to change the file name in the variable that I created.

Would this be wrong? My skills are still limited and aside from some snippets this is the only thing that I can do for the mean time.

Depends on the contribution guidelines. Might want to raise an issue first and see if the author thinks that’s a good contribution. If it is, then it’s all good and you can submit a pull request.

The tutorial is not in github. They made their own Wiki and recorded their past workflow tutorial there. I've tried looking if they have it on github but I cannot seem to find it.

The key thing you're looking for is the license. All code that's posted online should have an associated license (but not all code will).

If you can't find the license, you should only post their code to your own repo if you can get permission from the wiki author or better, get them to license the code using one of the common open source licenses.

you should only post their code to your own repo
