Hi, you usually do this to get the trunk code into the current directory:
$ bzr branch lp:gala Make your changes and test them, then a simple $ bzr commit -m "I fixed a bug or something like this" to commit everything locally $ bzr push lp:~teemperor/gala/bug-fix-that-was-really-important and this to push it to a branch inside the gala project. Note that the branch gets created automatically. Also, the ~teemperor part of the URL refers to your username. So if your lp username is "django", you would push to $ bzr push lp:~teemperor/gala/bug-fix-that-was-really-important The "gala" in the url is the project name (lp:gala -> /gala/). The last bit (bug-fix-that-was-really-important) is just a unique name that you give to your new branch. Now you can find that branch on the code subsection of the launchpad side (for example here https://code.launchpad.net/gala ). Then click on your branch and click "Propose to merge". This is a helpful tutorial for handling bzr: http://doc.bazaar.canonical.com/beta/en/mini-tutorial/index.html We have another guide that describes this workflow in more detail, but I can't find it at the moment. Maybe someone else knows where it is hidden nowadays? - Raphael Isemann 2015-09-06 15:13 GMT+02:00 Florian R. A.
