CompSoc CookBook
Hey, good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?
CompSoc Cookbook is a curated list of recipes by CompSoc Edinburgh members.
We'd love you to contribute some of your own favourite recipes! We use Git to manage our recipes, and you can see our repository here: GitHub. We try to follow professional practices where possible, so this would be a great introduction for you to learn Git, pull requests, reviewing, and getting your contribution live. See below for detailed guides!
