Add Your Wapuu to GitHub

Before Wapu.us, there was the Wapuu Archive* on GitHub. Without http://jawordpressorg.github.io/wapuu/ there would be no Wapu.us. If you are familiar with GitHub and Git, this will be easy for you. If you have no idea what Git is, that is why we created our wapuu submission form. Full instructions can be seen here: https://github.com/jawordpressorg/wapuu-api

  1. Fork the Wapuu-API repository above.
  2. Add your wapuu’s information to the wapuu.csv.
  3. Submit a pull request.

They will review the pull request, and most times, add your wapuu within a day or two.

Below is example code of what you would be adding to the Wapuu.csv per new wapuu. The GitHub repo is very limiting on the information they collect.
