How to contribute to a Github project using forks, and pull requests.
Set up the fork:
- Fork the project on GitHub.
- Clone it to your computer using the terminal or a git client.
- Add the original project repository to your remotes
- If you use the Source Tree git client this is done by clicking settings > remotes > add
- If you use the GitKraken git client this is done by yada yada yada
- Note that most git Clients will label your own Repository as
origin
when you first clone the repo. When you add a remote you can assign a custom name to it. (The owners github username for example.)
