Allow upload access to repo

[chrisman]

What is wrong

contributing.md says to make use of the upload files button in order to submit:

at the top of the screen is a white button which says "upload files"

but uploading files is disabled for this repo.

how to fix it

This can be fixed by doing one of two things:

1. allow uploading files for this repo

2. edit contributing.md to remove upload files instructions and to include submitting a PR instructions

could you please elaborate? the button appears for me.

Uploading files is just like pushing a commit to a repo, except it's done via the web interface. Even if the button is there, someone who isn't listed as a contributor of a repo cannot directly push to this repo; they have to fork the repo, upload on the fork, then make a pull request.

As far as I know it is not possible to let everyone upload anything to a repo (and that would be a major security issue).

[MineRobber9000]

In that case, it would appear that that has changed. Originally, uploading files would make a PR if you couldn't directly push. (like editing a file in a repo you can't push to)

Just an fyi, i can add townies to the org now, so that you can have access to upload files. Just ping me on irc, or send me a tilde email
