lang-club: a repo for Stanford Languages Club's website

Github‽‽

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how overkill is it to start a github repository for the languages club website?"

"Maybe 1.3..."

Thus, this repo was born. If you're not familiar with github, ehh... sorry? If you want to contribute changes, here's what you need to know (ask me for more details if this is not helpful):

1. Install git on your local machine and get a github user account (also, you could try editing directly on the github website and ignoring the rest of the instructions)
2. Find a place on your local machine where you want to keep the languages club pages
3. Make a new directory with git clone https://github.com/earosenberg/lang-club.git in your shell (or git-bash, for you windows folks; if you've never used a shell before, the only non-git commands you need are cd and ls). This should create a new folder called lang-club
4. Go into that folder, make the changes you want with emacs, Notepad++, a steady needle, or whatever you like
5. To check what files you've changed in the meantime, you can check git status
6. To save your changes to git, after saving them to file, you need to git add insert_filename_here the files, then commit what you added with git commit -m "Insert a cheeky commit message here"
7. To copy changes from the blagosphere to your local repo, type git pull
8. To push your committed changes onto the blagosphere, type git push
