Having multiple rice in one repo

If you want to have more than one rice in the same repo you need to create a new branch. You can refer to this link to create a new brach: https://www.howtogeek.com/714112/how-to-create-a-new-branch-in-github/. Once you create a new brach you can change all the files in that branch.

Step 3 - Adding your Rice to the shop

Once you have created the rice navigate to https://themesaver.herokuapp.com/newRice

Here there are two entries:

• The github repo link it should be in the format github-username/repo-name

• The brach for the repo. The default branch for the repo is main. If you have created any other brach put that here.

• Once you submit the form with the two entries it will check if you have repo has the correct format and either allow or deny the link.

• Once you have done that you will be redirected to the shop and you will be able to see your brand new rice in the shop.
