You don’t have to be afraid of messing things up as you will work in your copy of oi-userland. If something will be wrong, I will comment on it/notify you.</div><div><br></div><div>First, you have to fork <a href="https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland">https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland</a> under your Github account (more info at <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo">https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo</a>).</div><div>Next, checkout your repository to your computer via git clone. Modify files as needed, commit them and push those changes back to your repository on Github.</div><div><br></div><div>Before you do anything with git, you might read a guide at <a href="https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/">https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/</a>. Just check out pages about “git clone”, “git add”, “git commit” and “git push”.</div><div><br></div><div>Once, you are finished with your modifications and you pushed the changes to github, create a pull request (<a href="https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request">https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request</a>).</div><div><br></div><div>If you need anything else, just come back to me.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers, </div><div>Adam</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div>On May 12, 2014, at 2:30 PM, OpenIndiana Developer mailing list <<a href="mailto:oi-dev@openindiana.org">oi-dev@openindiana.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Adam,<br><br>I'd be happy to do the grunt work, but I need a little more detail than is provided on <a href="http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Contributing+to+hipster">http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Contributing+to+hipster</a>. Specifically, since I'm not familiar with git (shame on me), I don't understand what is involved in step 3: Fork oi-userland within Github. I think I can handle the rest.
