Submitting Styles

Once you have made sure that your (modified) style validates and meets the other requirements, you can submit your style for inclusion in the style repository. Submitting can be done in two ways.

gist.github.com (quick & easy)

Visit http://gist.github.com, and paste the style code into the text box. Give the style a name ("name this file...") and click the "Create Public Gist" button. Copy the URL of the gist (e.g. https://gist.github.com/1320111), and include it in your message to us. You can either start a new discussion in the Citation Styles section of the Zotero forums, or create a new GitHub issue in the styles repository.

Pull Requests

Creating GitHub pull requests is slightly more complicated, but is more convenient for us, and quicker if you want to submit (changes to) a large number of styles. Start by forking the https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles. Commit your changes, and create a pull request. You can do all this directly through the GitHub interface (see https://github.com/blog/844-forking-with-the-edit-button ), or use a local Git client (we recommend SmartGit, which is free for non-commercial purposes).
