Yup. It's very much based on a git workflow, but they have put a lot of effort into making it as smooth as possible. Normal contributions basically work like this: 1. Somebody goes to the tigervnc page, and then clicks "fork". That gives them their own private playground at github that they can play around with as they please. 2. They do some changes. Fix a bug, implement a feature, etc. This is visible on github so they can get input and collaborate with others if they please. 3. Once they're happy with the changes, they click on "Send pull request" which will automatically add a ticket and a pull request in the upstream project (i.e. tigervnc). 4. We, as tigervnc maintainers, can comment on these changes. Even on individual lines of individual commits. 5. The contributor can do additional commits based on feedback, within the same discussion. 6. Once we're happy, we can click "Merge" and have it directly integrated. Or do it manually if it's a complex merge, or if we want to test it/tweak it first. There is also integration with build systems so that we can request a test build of a pull request.
