#to get started with dev -create a fork of the Signal-iOS repo https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-iOS (click fork)
-clone that repo into a nice local directory
-add the original repository as a remote
git remote add upstream https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-iOS.git
-clone your fork and when you are ready to work on a new feature off of the master branch:
git fetch upstream
git checkout upstream/master
git checkout -b my_feature
git commit -am "my changes 1"
git commit -am "my changes 2"
git commit -am "my changes 3"
you can also push to your fork
git push origin my_fork
- rebase your changes into a single (or few) commits:
git rebase -i HEAD~3
- rebase your changes on top of master:
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/master
- push to your fork (if you rebased since pushing to your fork you will need to create a new branch)
git checkout -b my_feature_PR
git push origin my_feature_PR
submit your PR!
