[Matplotlib-users] github - basemap and contributing...

2013-03-12 Thread Thomas Lecocq 
Dear all,

I've successfully forked matplotlib.basemap to 
ThomasLecocq.basemap and cloned ThomasLecocq.basemap to my machine. Now,
 how can I have this clone be THE mpl_toolkits.basemap package, so I can
 make edits in the __init__.py (that contains the Basemap class) and 
preview them live on this machine. Once they are nice and OK, I can 
commit/push it to my master on github and probably create a pull request
 to the matplotlib.basemap git ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Thom

ps : if this mail goes through and the previous didn't, might be becaused I did 
not use the forked term in the subject...

You would build and install basemap from the git source as you would
normally from a tarball source.  Make modifications to the source, do a
python setup.py install, test, and repeat as needed.  When happy, commit
those changes to your local branch, push that branch up to your github
account, and then from github make a PR.

The instructions for basemap wouldn't be all that different from
matplotlib, which can be found here:
http://matplotlib.org/devel/gitwash/index.html

Cheers!
