Making Pull Requests

1. Fork & create a branch

Fork BOINC and create a branch with a descriptive name. A good branch name would be:

git checkout -b update-code-of-conduct

2. Implement your fix or feature

At this point, you're ready to make your changes! Feel free to ask for help, everyone is a beginner at first. 😉

Development Practices:

3. Sync changes made in the original repository with your fork At this point, you should switch back to your master branch and make sure it's up to date with BOINC's master branch:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/BOINC/boinc.git
git checkout master
git pull upstream master

Then update your branch from your local copy of master, and push it!

git checkout update-code-of-conduct
git rebase master
git push --set-upstream origin update-code-of-conduct

4. Make a Pull Request

Finally, go to GitHub and make a Pull Request.
