The tutorial is not clear.

IIRC Dirk did mention that he would accept pull-requests?

If so then that would mean that your repo must be public, and I guess the easiest way is to just fork Dirk's github project (let's call this master) to your own github account (let's call this your branch) and issue a pull from there?

You then in turn, clone from your github account your branch to your workstation (let's call this local copy) and do the edits there.

So the flow model of your changes would be:

local copy => your branch => master

You also need to get the updates to your local copy from master, which means that you need to add master as a remote so you can fetch/merge all the other changes which you then push to your github branch.

So the flow model of others changes would be:

master => local copy => your branch

Or you can continue in the old way, sending patches by email from your local copy.

Did I get this right?
