You, naturally, would like to start by forking the repository to get started. If
|
2024-11-25 17:16:46 +01:00
|
|
|
you are new to Git and GitHub, do have a look at GitHub's
|
|
|
|
|
[Fork a repo guide](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) for
|
|
|
|
|
instructions on how you can do this. Once you have a fork of **nvf**, you should
|
|
|
|
|
create a separate branch based on the msot recent `main` branch. Give your
|
|
|
|
|
branch a reasonably descriptive name (e.g. `feature/debugger` or
|
2024-04-27 14:44:37 +02:00
|
|
|
`fix/pesky-bug`) and you are ready to work on your changes

|
|
|
|
2024-04-27 14:44:37 +02:00
|
|
|
Implement your changes and commit them to the newly created branch and when you
|
2024-11-25 17:16:46 +01:00
|
|
|
are happy with the result, and positive that it fullfills our
|
|
|
|
|
[Contributing Guidelines](#sec-guidelines), push the branch to GitHub and
|
|
|
|
|
[create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request).
|
|
|
|
|
The default pull request template available on the **nvf** repository will guide
|
|
|
|
|
you through the rest of the process, and we'll gently nudge you in the correct
|
|
|
|
|
direction if there are any mistakes.
