Hi all My name is Ivange Larry, am from Cameroon and new to maven community. I have followed the instructions on getting started as a developer in the Apache maven community and below are a few of the things i have done so far.
I did a git clone on this url https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git, to get maven source code. Please correct me if am wrong since i am new to open source, from the url, it shows that maven source code is not hosted on github. Also i was instructed that when fixing a bug for a jira ticket, i will have to create a patche file. But since yesteday, the mails i have been receiving from the mailing list shows that maven is actually hosted on github, which would have been better if i just forked the repository, also i noticed that developers contribute code by creating pull requests not patches. So my questions are ... 1 - Is the code hosted here https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/maven.git, the same as the code hosted on github with this url https://github.com/apache/maven. 2 - In order to contribute, can i just fork the repository on github and submit pull requests instead of patches. Thanks
