Ignoring html files with .gitignore will only require using `git add -f` for untracked files. Already tracked files can be included in a commit with `git add` or `git commit -a`.\r\n\r\nAs for the contributing directions, the particulars for the R lessons are explained in the README.\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/swcarpentry/r-novice-inflammation#contributing\r\n\r\nThis is due to the lesson template. CONTRIBUTING.md is part of the core [lesson-template](https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-template) repo. New changes to the lesson template are merged from this repo into downstream lesson repos like this one. Thus making changes to this file creates the risk of merge conflicts. This is why r-novice-inflammation currently has the awkward solution of having two places with contributing information. This is also why the link to Issues is directed to the issues of lesson-template and not the r-novice issues (the same goes for the [contributing directions for python-novice-inflammation](https://github.com/swcarpentry/python-novice-inflammation/blob/gh-pages/CONTRIBUTING.md)). Development in lesson-template has slowed down recently, so it may be safe to start making changes to the CONTRIBUTING.md file in downstream repos, but of course new changes are already being [discussed](https://github.com/swcarpentry/lesson-template/issues/242)."}}
