Bonjour,
I just checked that the github invitation to you has not been accepted yet.
Please have a look at how the invitation process works:
https://github.com/blog/1868-inviting-people-to-your-organizationIt should be easily following a link in email or something.
Yes, git is a little bit too much for people without software development experience. You are doing quite a lot for LibreCAD documentations, which need help badly. More importantly, you are documenting the software from the perspective of a new user, and this is actually the most relevant way of providing docs.
Please check your email and github account to locate and accept the invitation. If you have trouble with that, just let me know.
Salut!

OK,
I am trying but it still is Chinese to me.
So, I opened github and tried to create a new file where I copied my original writing and picture in Open Office. PROBLEM: it tells me: "You’re creating a file in a project you don’t have write access to. We’ve created a fork of this project for you to commit your proposed changes to. Submitting a change will create the file in a new branch in your fork, so you can send a pull request."
I am afraid I need more step by step help. I still do not understand what is a fork or a pull request.
I am a curious beginner ready to try and help those like me who do not have the time or curiosity to dig into the various functions but when it comes to more sophisticated implication like getting involved in github, like I said earlier on, I get lost.
I would greatly appreciate if you could "step by step me" (just created the expression).
Regards,
Christian
