I’m actually quite familiar with git. Been using for about a year now. I was
confused about the forking stuff as I never used codeplex before. So forking
is just your own “isolated” repository so you can’t mess up the main one. I
found this link that explains what to do with forking in codeplex like you
said:

I think I understand now. ☺

Check out http://git-scm.com. It’s a great resource and has downloads to free
ebooks (same thing as the web site in a different format).
Generally, you create a branch (they’re lightweight), make and commit your
changes, push your branch to your fork, then send a pull request from that
branch to the tracking branch in the main repo.
Git is very much design to branch on a whim. You can create a branch from any
previous state in your commit history so you can have multiple trains of work.
This is especially handy if you’re working on multiple bugs and/or features and
don’t want to send one giant pull request or wait for your pull request to be
merged (since any commits added to the remote branch get included in the pull
request).

So what is the flow now to summit changes? For mercurial forking seemed to
create another repository but with git does the fork just create a branch?
