EXAMPLE GIT WORKFLOW
---------------------
The following workflow works fine for most developers:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# get latest upstream master branch
git clone https://github.com/telmich/cdist.git
# update if already existing
cd cdist; git fetch -v; git merge origin/master
# create a new branch for your feature/bugfix
cd cdist # if you haven't done before
git checkout -b documentation_cleanup
# *hack*
*hack*
# clone the cdist repository on github if you haven't done so
# configure your repo to know about your clone (only once)
git remote add github git@github.com:YOURUSERNAME/cdist.git
# push the new branch to github
git push github documentation_cleanup
# (or everything)
git push --mirror github
# create a pull request at github (use a browser)
# *fixthingsbecausequalityassurancefoundissuesinourpatch*
*hack*
# push code to github again
git push ... # like above
# add comment that everything should be green now (use a browser)
# go back to master branch
git checkout master
# update master branch that includes your changes now
git fetch -v origin
git diff master..origin/master
git merge origin/master
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If at any point you want to go back to the original master branch, you can
use **git stash** to stash your changes away:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# assume you are on documentation_cleanup
git stash
# change to master and update to most recent upstream version
git checkout master
git fetch -v origin
git merge origin/master
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
