Hi Long, It may be worth putting on the wiki that you can create your own branch for local editing after pulling & forking on github. I'm not sure if I followed the right way of doing it or not as I basically just winged it but the process I followed was thus:
1. Fork Insoshi project on git 2. "git clone git://github.com/insoshi/insoshi.git" 3. "cd insoshi" 4. "git remote add <my_github_login> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:<my_github_login>/ insoshi.git" 5. "git checkout -b <my_github_login>/master" This creates a <my_github_login> branch in your local repository. Now I can do a pull on master to get the official insoshi changes, then rebase my <my_github_login> branch the same way as described in the wiki docs, pushing this branch then updates my own github repository ready to issue a pull request if needed. I think most of the above is in the docs aside from the "checkout -b" command, albeit not in one concise walkthrough.
