Forks

How to contribute to an open-source GitHub project using your own fork

• Fork the repo
• Clone it locally:
  git clone git@github.com:bonsi/laradock.git
• Keep it in sync with the source:
  git remote add upstream https://github.com/laradock/laradock.git
• Merge upstream changes:
  git checkout development
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/development
git push origin development
• Create a new feature branch to work on:
  git checkout -b my-feature-name
• Do your thing:
  git add something
git commit -m "Whoa!"
git push origin my-feature-name
• Create a PR on github

Submodules

Add

• git submodule add <url>https://github.com/bonsi/repo.git [-b <branch>] [path]

Update

• git submodule update --recursive --remote

Remove

• Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
• Stage the .gitmodules changes via command line using:
  git add .gitmodules
• Delete the relevant section from .git/config
• Run
  git rm --cached path/to/submodule Don't include a trailing slash -- that will lead to an error.
• Run
  rm -rf .git/modules/submodule_name
• Commit the change
• Delete the now untracked submodule files:
  rm -rf path/to/submodule
