[geeklog-devel] Contributing to a Github repository

[Tom]

That is a good idea especially since we can't do patches anymore. (at least
like how we did before). 

I was also wanted to add a good practices page or something on our
wiki/readme explaining the best way to contribute, add issues, and
committing code. Here are a few help pages I have looked at so far.

Now that we are on Github, we must decide what is the best way for people to
contribute to code.

It seems to be a good practice to add a CONTRIBUTING label in the README.md
file, so I propose the following steps based on the Github
documentation:

1. Fork the repository and clone it locally.
2. Create a branch: your branch name should be descriptive, so that others
can see what is being worked on.
3.Add commits to your branch: add, edit, or delete one or more files and
make tests 4.Open a Pull Request: by using GitHub's @mention system in your
Pull Request message, you can ask for feedback from specific people or teams
5.Before merging we discuss and review your code. The person or team
reviewing your changes may have questions or comments.

Thank you to modify and / or supplement this.

Ben
