 # Why Git?
 
-## Decentralization
 
 While Gabriel controls the **cyberfreedom.ca** domain name, anyone is able to fork the project for their own needs and/or publish their own changes. Licensed under [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0), only attribution is needed.
 
+If this model proves successful, it's not difficult for a foreign project leader to fork the project for a different country's needs, reducing repetitive work. The very reason this project exists is because Gabriel believes that this skill would be a game-changer for citizen engagement if people learned to pool effort and resources in this kind of model.
+
+## Benefits
+
+### Anti-Fragile Information Sharing
+
 With copies of the site being distributed among contributors there really isn't a single-point of failure. Ideally, this means that the project can live on even if this particular attempt fails. In addition to this, changes can be submitted anonymously with as much or as little about the author recorded as desired.

+### Highly Scalable
 
-## Source Control
+The more people who get involved, the more can get done quickly. This method of collaboration can easily outpace legislation it's aimed at opposing.
+
+### Optimal Trust
+
+You may want the ability for people to contribute without necessarily trusting them with keys to the kingdom. Using git allows you to pull changes from anyone without having to give them control over your project.
+
+Once you do want to trust collaborators to help you manage the project, it’s as simple as creating an account on your forge for them, and setting up permissions to the repository.
+
+### Source Control
 
 It's nice to be able to track changes or even reverse mistakes. Git is built for managing changes which makes it the perfect tool for collaboration. Contributions also allow for attribution on a

 ## Using Git
 
+*Before you start tracking your changes make sure you've configured contributions in your name.  
+Be sure to [configure](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup) your username and email correctly before submitting changes.*
+
 After you've made some changes, you'll want to keep track of them. A set of changes is called a **commit**. To create a commit you'll use your git tools, or using the terminal write `git commit -m ` with a short message after a space. Some tools will automatically track files and stage the changes for you, if you're creating a new fille you'll want to make sure it's added to the commit with `git add ` and then the filename both of these commands require a space before you add your message or file.
 
 ## Publishing Your Changes
 
-1. Fork the Repository 
+Once you've made changes you'd like to see made, you'll want to publish them so that they can be **pulled**. You can use a git hosting provider like Github, Codeberg, or Gitlab, or even [host your own](https://forgejo.org/).
 
-    The Github repository is [here](https://code.gabe.rocks/gabriel/cyberfreedom)
-2. Make your Changes
-3. Publish your changes
+The magic of using git is that this particular step is optional, you also have the ability to send the changes directly.

-    - Gitlab

 ## Getting your changes on the Site
 
+Once you've prepared your changes, you'll have to inform Gabriel of where they are or send them directly. Once your changes are accepted, you'll be informed when they are live.
