Yes, that's a good place to start.  Once you have git installed and link 
it up to your github account, you can follow the same "Contribute" steps 
that are on the README of the anti-harassment policy:

1.) Fork the codebase e.g. to https://github.com/your-username/issue-manager
2.) Clone your fork locally (git clone 
[log in to unmask]:your-username/issue-manager.git my-antiharassment-policy)
3.) Create a branch to hold your changes (git checkout -b my-changes)
4.) Commit the changes you've made (git commit -am "Some descriptive 
text around what you've added")
5.) Push your branch to github (git push origin my-changes)

Once you do that, we can test it out for you before merging.
