Hi Sascha,

Thanks, I will do that probably tomorrow. Now I understand why I did not find the pull request button. :(

I started in the way you wrote, I had a "cim" branch into which I merged my feature branches, and what I rebased on the origin/master occasionally. Then I removed it, now I have a master containing the fork and I just pull the changes from upstream/master into that.

I do not know what is the best strategy. I read several approaches. I did not see what are benefits of having a separate branch.

So you suggest the first approach but not to rebase it to the upstream/master but just to pull the changes from that regularly, right?

Yes, that was my suggestion. But since there are so many workflows possible with git, this is really a matter of taste. One benefit I see from this approach is that you can easily view the differences from "your" master branch to the original MITK master by using github's compare view. Of course, you can always view differences between branches from any repository using your local git tools.

So I only have to rename all my branches by adding a "cim-" prefix (e.g. cim-master), recreate the github repo and push them up all, right?

Yeah, although the branch names do not matter, having a "cim-" prefix is a nice convention :-)

I will have a look at your branches and probably integrate some of your changes next week. Are there any branches you would especially like to have integrated?

Best,
Sascha

Thanks,

Miklos
