-So you're handling a translation, or you're contributing to a theme, and every time you make a pull request you have to talk to one of the developers before your changes can be merged in?
-
-Chances are, you just haven't found a quick how-to explaining how to keep things in sync on your end. It's really very easy.
-
-After you've created a fork of the repo (just click "fork" at github), you need to clone your own copy.
-
-For the sake of examples, we'll assume you're working on a theme called redexample (which does not exist).
-
-[code]git clone https://github.com/username/red.git[/code]
-
-Once you've done that, cd into the directory, and add an upstream.
-
-[code]
-cd red
-git remote add upstream https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/
-[/code]
-
-From now on, you can pull upstream changes with the command
-[code]git fetch upstream[/code]
-
-Before your changes can be merged automatically, you will often need to merge upstream changes.
-
-[code]
-git merge upstream/master
-[/code]
-
-You should always merge upstream before pushing any changes, and [i]must[/i] merge upstream with any pull requests to make them automatically mergeable.
-
-99% of the time, this will all go well. The only time it won't is if somebody else has been editing the same files as you - and often, only if they have been editing the same lines of the same files. If that happens, that would be a good time to request help until you get the hang of handling your own merge conflicts.
-
-Then you just need to add your changes [code]git add view/theme/redexample/[/code]
-
-This will add all the files in view/theme/redexample and any subdirectories. If your particular files are mixed throughout the code, you should add one at a time. Try not to do git add -a, as this will add everything, including temporary files (we mostly, but not always catch those with a .gitignore) and any local changes you have, but did not intend to commit.
-
-Once you have added all the files you have changed, you need to commit them. [code]git commit[/code]
-
-This will open up an editor where you can describe the changes you have made. Save this file, and exit the editor.
-
-Finally, push the changes to your own git
-[code]git push[/code]
-
-And that's it, your repo is up to date!
-
-All you need to do now is actually create the pull request. There are two ways to do this.
-
-The easy way, if you're using Github is to simply click the green button at the top of your own copy of the repository, enter a description of the changes, and click 'create pull request'. The
-main repository, themes, and addons all have their main branch at Github, so this method can be used most of the time.
-
-Most people can stop here.
-
-Some projects in the extended RedMatrix ecosphere have no Github presence, to pull request these is a bit different - you'll have to create your pull request manually. Fortunately, this isn't
-much harder.
-
-[code]git request-pull -p <start> <url>[/code]
-
-Start is the name of a commit to start at. This must exist upstream. Normally, you just want master.
-
-URL is the URL of [i]your[/i] repo.
-
-One can also specify <end>. This defaults to HEAD.
-
-Example:
-[code]
-git request-pull master https://example.com/project
-[/code]
-
-And simply send the output to the project maintainer.
