+ [2017-01-29T17:27:41Z] glowdemon1 I have an old application I'd like to refactor, a completely different framework will be used and the code will be completely different. Whats the best option to update this on a Git repo; Do I create a new Git repo or do I just git clone and delete all files, then commit that?
+ [2017-01-29T20:49:51Z] adrian_1908 hello, one question. If a repository lets me make edits to a document by clicking the little pen icon to create a fork, do I need to create a pull request afterwards, to inform the maintainers, or is the latter only when I want to open discussion of my changes? (the change is self evident my case)

I started working with github recently and I know that each time you commit a project its version increases eg. 0.0.1, 0.0.2 etc. But how do I actually keep track of the version number. For example in C do I just #define a constant somewhere called version and increase it with every commit?
