Description (last modified by mabshoff) (diff)
It says:
- clone the main branch
- implement new functionality in the clone, test
- commit changes to clone
- pull changes into main branch
- export patch or bundle, and contribute it
There are good reasons why one shouldn't do step 4, since it taints the main branch with code that hasn't been reviewed, etc.
