In short: login to github go to http://github.com/cobbler/cobbler click on the "fork" button in your terminal: git clone https://github.com/<your username>/cobbler.git cd cobbler vim whatever you want to change git status (see changed files, use git add/rm) when happy: git commit -a (please use a useful description) git push origin master (or whatever your remote and branch name is) go to http://github.com/<username>/cobbler click on "pull request"
then i'll get a notification there is a PR waiting, then i should verify and when happy merge your changes into the cobbler/cobbler repo from there it can/should be backported to a release branch so that it gets into the next version of cobbler On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 9:00 PM, Gary Algier <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello: > > I have patched a few things on my local copy of 2.6.5 and I would like to > contribute the fixes back upstream.
