+# voc4cat maintenance - Handling of ID-requests
+
+> This guide is for voc4cat maintainers.
+
+To update or create ID-ranges for people use the following workflow.
+It is written for using the git command line.
+
+**Step 1**: Navigate to the folder on your computer with a local clone of the voc4cat-repo:
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local
+λ cd gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat
+```
+
+Make sure you are on the main branch. If not switch to the main branch with `git switch main`.
+
+**Step 2**: Pull the latest changes into the local repo.
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(main -> origin)
+λ git pull
+remote: Enumerating objects: 33, done.
+remote: Counting objects: 100% (33/33), done.
+remote: Compressing objects: 100% (23/23), done.
+remote: Total 33 (delta 10), reused 30 (delta 10), pack-reused 0
+Unpacking objects: 100% (33/33), 100.81 KiB | 291.00 KiB/s, done.
+From https://github.com/nfdi4cat/voc4cat
+   9d78e5a..d0f2cd7  main       -> origin/main

+ vocabularies/voc4cat/0007101.ttl        | 18 ++++++++++++++++++
+(...)
+```
+
+**Step 3**: Create a feature branch with a reasonable name (here the IDs were requested in issue #79).
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(main -> origin)
+λ git switch -c issue79-id-request
+Switched to a new branch 'issue79-id-request'
+```
+
+**Step 4**: Open an editor and update the `idranges.toml` file based on the request.
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(issue79-id-request)
+λ code .
+```
+
+**Step 5**: Push the changes to GitHub. This involves, adding the changed file, setting the remote branch and pushing the changes.
+
+First it is a good idea to check the status of the git repository.
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(issue79-id-request)
+λ git status
+On branch issue79-id-request
+Changes not staged for commit:
+  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+        modified:   idranges.toml
+
+no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
+```
+
+If there is just `idrange.toml` changed (as expected) we proceed:
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(issue79-id-request)
+λ git add idranges.toml
+
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(issue79-id-request)
+λ git commit -m "Add idrange for philippstangl"

+
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(issue79-id-request -> origin)
+```
+
+**Step 6**: Create a pull request on GitHub.
+
+To do this open the the [voc4cat-repo](https://github.com/nfdi4cat/voc4cat). GitHub will automatically offer you to create a PR from the branch just pushed.
+
+You can also use the the link provided in the command line output.
+
+**Step 7**: Accept the PR in GitHub GUI (needs approval by another developer/curator).
+
+After the successful merge, delete the feature branch in the PR-page on GitHub (there is a button for it).
+
+**Step 8**: Clean up your local repo.
+
+Switch back to main in the local repo and pull the latest changes:
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(issue79-id-request)
+λ git switch main
+Switched to branch 'main'
+Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
+
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(main -> origin)
+λ git pull
+remote: Enumerating objects: 5, done.
+remote: Counting objects: 100% (5/5), done.
+remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1/1), done.
+remote: Total 3 (delta 2), reused 2 (delta 2), pack-reused 0
+Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), 409 bytes | 20.00 KiB/s, done.

+
+Finally, you may want to delete the feature branch to keep your local repo clean.
+
+```cmd
+C:\Users\dlinke\MyProg_local\gh-nfdi4cat\voc4cat(main -> origin)
+λ git branch -d issue79-id-request
