Are we XLibre yet?

X11 has been, and still is, a vital piece of technology at the core of professional Unix-like workstations since decades. It has a proven track record of supporting enterprise-grade applications with long-term protocol stability and platform compatibility. It has matured over decades. XLibre is an actively developed fork of the X.Org X11 server, initiated by the most active X.Org developer and supported by the open source community.

An incompatible alternative, Wayland, is being aggressively pushed by IBM = Red Hat = Gnome = Fedora = freedesktop.org. However, it is not ready to succeed X11 as it its governance model leads to never-ending discussions and prevents even the most essential functionality from existing.

##How To Reset Your Github Fork

Let’s say I want to contribute to a project on github. The project repository is at wp-cli/wp-cli. First I fork it, and then clone the resulting repository, scribu/wp-cli:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:scribu/wp-cli.git
cd wp-cli

Now, I make some commits to master, push them to my fork and open a pull request. Piece of cake:

git commit -m "awesome new feature"
