Only add youtubers that are **awesome**! *"After all, it's a curation, not a collection"*. [What is awesome?](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#only-awesome-is-awesome)
It doesn't matter if the youtuber isn't active anymore; if the youtuber has videos/playlists uploaded but no new videos, it still counts. Follow the channel rules below when deciding on what youtuber to add.

**Look up into this issue -> [#32](https://github.com/JoseDeFreitas/awesome-youtubers/issues/32) for more information and a discussion.**
## Channel rules
- The channel is focused on the technology and the youtuber also teaches about tech-related content. Examples of acceptable topics: JavaScript tutorials, web design, command-line cmdlets. Examples of not acceptable topics: freelancing as an illustrator, laws in the technology industry, personal finance tips, makeup, jokes.
- It must be an entire YouTube channel (a youtuber). You can't add only one video or playlist.
2020-10-03 10:00:42 -04:00
- The channel should be made up of content created by the YouTuber. Do not add channels that create playlists and add videos from other youtubers.
2020-10-01 12:44:06 -04:00
- The channel must follow the [YouTube terms](https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and any other rules provided by YouTube.
- The channel must be primarily English.
**_For awesome YouTubers in other languages:_** Please contribute to the corresponding language list located in the [other-languages folder](https://github.com/JoseDeFreitas/awesome-youtubers/tree/master/other-languages/readme-non_en.md). Rules still apply to non-english channels as well.)

## Add a youtuber
To add a youtuber, you will need to create a pull request from a forked repository.
2020-08-25 22:41:36 -04:00
- On the upper right, click on the fork button
- In the fork you've created, create a new branch (If you're using command line, do: `git checkout -b NAME_OF_BRANCH`.)
- Edit the readme.md file in the branch you've just created.
2020-10-03 10:00:42 -04:00
- Using the YouTuber template down below, add the youtuber(s) to the appropriate section **at the bottom of the section** or create another section if you need to (a section holds several YouTube channels, please use discretion).
2020-08-25 18:10:45 -04:00
*Jump to the [Pull request template](#pull-request-template) to know how to open a pull request*.
2020-10-03 10:00:42 -04:00
How to use the YouTuber template:
- Do not use link shorteners
- Do not change any layout or attributes in the template
2020-10-03 10:00:42 -04:00
- Fill out the template with YouTuber information replacing items in ALL_CAPS and the featured playlist section
- The link to the channel must redirect only to the youtuber's channel main page (it **shouldn't** redirect to one of their videos specific channel section, or subscribe button) (eg. https://www.youtube.com/user/github or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8butISFwT-Wl7EV0hUK0BQ).
- To get the avatar of the channel, go to the main channel's page, right-click the avatar and select "copy image adress". Paste the image address to replace the LINK_TO_THE_AVATAR_OF_THE_YOUTUBE_CHANNEL in the template. (Do not modify the image or change the width and/or height attributes on the `<img>` tag.)
- If the channel meets any badge requirements, add accordingly (refer to [badges.md](https://github.com/JoseDeFreitas/awesome-youtubers/blob/master/badges.md)). If the channel doesn't meet badge(s) requirements, delete that badge and keep the order with the other ones. Channels do not need to meet any badge requirement.
2020-10-01 12:44:06 -04:00
- The "Content about" section **should not** be more than **1** line.
- The "Featured playlists" section **should not** be more than **2** lines.
- If the youtuber doesn't have any playlist, you can consider a series of videos as a playlist or type "`None`".

### YouTuber template:
2020-08-25 18:10:45 -04:00
```html
2020-08-25 18:13:16 -04:00
[<img align="left" height="94px" width="94px" alt="NAME_OF_THE_YOUTUBE_CHANNEL channel's avatar" src="LINK_TO_THE_AVATAR_OF_THE_YOUTUBE_CHANNEL"/>](LINK_TO_THE_CHANNEL)
2020-08-25 18:10:45 -04:00
[**NAME_OF_THE_CHANNEL**](LINK_TO_THE_CHANNEL) [<img height="16px" width="16px" alt="Badge for verified YouTube channels" src="media/badge-verified.svg" title="Is a verified YouTube channel"/>](badges.md#verified-youtube-channel) [<img height="16px" width="16px" alt="Badge for youtubers that upload videos weekly" src="media/badge-weekly.svg" title="Uploads videos weekly"/>](badges.md#weekly-video-upload) \
Content about: EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE \
Featured playlists: `playlist-1`, `playlist-2`, `playlist-3`, `playlist-4`.
2020-08-25 18:10:45 -04:00
```
2020-08-26 13:44:44 -04:00
When adding a youtuber below other one, you should add another line. Example:
```html
...
Featured playlists: `playlist-1`, `playlist-2`, `playlist-3`, `playlist-4`.
[<img align="left" height="94px" width="94px" alt="NAME_OF_THE_YOUTUBE_CHANNEL channel's avatar" src="LINK_TO_THE_AVATAR_OF_THE_YOUTUBE_CHANNEL"/>](LINK_TO_THE_CHANNEL)
...
```
2020-10-01 12:44:06 -04:00
2020-08-26 13:46:00 -04:00
**The "Featured playlists" section could lead to some layout problems**. If the "Featured playlists" section is only 1 line, the youtuber below will have a broken layout. To solve this, add a line break `<br/>` below the "Featured playlists" line. REMEMBER to also add `\` after the "Featured playlists" section (in the same line).
2020-08-26 12:02:50 -04:00
Example:
[<img align="left" height="94px" width="94px" alt="GitHub channel's avatar" src="https://yt3.ggpht.com/a/AATXAJzVBGU-QyENevFp8etYX1iEak8Y7KEjUPsucWAvAA=s100-c-k-c0xffffffff-no-rj-mo"/>](https://www.youtube.com/user/github)
[**GitHub**](https://www.youtube.com/user/github) [<img height="16px" width="16px" alt="Badge for youtubers that upload videos weekly" src="media/badge-weekly.svg" title="Uploads videos weekly"/>](badges.md#weekly-video-upload) \
2020-09-20 12:50:10 -04:00
Content about: Open Source, Security, App development \
2020-08-26 12:46:25 -04:00
