Ron, I don’t know how to use Github with eclipse, I use the command line for everything.
But the documentation should be good: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-admin#contributing-to-the-documentation Basically you need an account on GitHub. You fork https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-admin (or the other docs repo). You will then have a fork at https://github.com/<YOUR_ACCOUNT>/cloudstack-docs-admin Clone your own fork: $ git clone https://github.com/<YOUR_ACCOUNT>/cloudstack-docs-admin Make your commits via eclipse and push to your own fork. Then on the GitHub UI, create a pull request to the upstream repo: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-docs-admin -sebastien > On Oct 29, 2015, at 9:58 PM, Ron Wheeler <rwhee...@artifact-software.com> > wrote: > > Trying to help out with the docs without doing too much damage. > I am new to git. > > I am using Eclipse with the egit/mylyn plug-in and I have managed to get the > source for the docs-admin downloaded. > > The "Configure Fetch" has a Source Ref of "refs/heads/*" and a Desctination > Ref of "refs/remotes/origin/*" > I think that I have the right sources.
