--------------------------------------+--------------------
While this section is helpful, it should be updated to reflect a git-
oriented and not patch-based workflow. Once these changes are made, it can
also be featured as a 'Quick Start' to contributing section, and featured
in the 'First Steps' portion of the contribution guide.
The following workflow should be represented in the document:
1. Fork the project, Then Clone your fork
2. Running Tests (Link To
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code
/unit-tests/)
3. Create a Branch
4. Modify the Code / Documentation
5. Diff your changes with Upstream
6. Commit - (Link to Coding Style / Commit Guidelines Here)
7. Push to your branch
8. Create a Pull Request
** Links to more detailed documentation for the steps above should be
provided where needed.
Additionally, the following needs to be done:
- Prominently Link to the Git Workflow, near the top.
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code
/working-with-git/)
- Change the title to 'Quick Start Guide to Contributing'
- Remove all References to 'Patch', including in links to this document
from other places
- Rewrite the 'So What do I do next Section?'
-Remove the `Since we never committed our changes locally` section, since
in the new workflow we *did* commit our changes locally.
- Add a link to the document under the 'First Steps' section of the
Contribution Guide
