Using GitHub

The initial GitHub configuration (1 & 2) is covered in the 'Installing a Developer Environment' chapter.

Commit your code to your local branch (3 & 4):

git commit -a
git commit -a

Before submitting it, you should ensure that it runs with the current version of the 'Trunk' branch (5):

git pull upstream master

You should also rebase it to keep the revision history cleaner and in more logical chunks for review (6):

git rebase -i

Push your code to your GitHub branch (7):

git push

You can then use GitHub to submit a 'Pull Request' to Trunk (8).

https://github.com/mygitusername/eden/pull/new/master

People subscribed to Trunk can then review the changes, request any necessary amendments before it can be accepted, and then merge your work into Trunk so that other users can benefit from your work.
