Using GIT

Create a github account, then fork https://github.com/dyne/Tomb. You can now start doing commits and pull requests. Don't know git? You can read ProGit book; there are many other books/tutorials on the web, choose what you like most

Tweaking GIT

Official codebase lives at git://github.com/dyne/Tomb.git so when you '''pull''' you have to use '''git pull --rebase'''. We strongly suggest you to define the following alias:

$ git config --global alias.up "pull --rebase"

Workflow

Some guidelines:

• different things in different branches
• when you're done, do git rebase dyne/master my_feature_branch; then, open a pull request
• usually, your feature branch should start from dyne/master. There can be exceptions, though.

Some suggestions to work tidier:

• always keep your master the same as dyne/master: you can "fast forward" it using git remote update; git pull dyne master, then.
• create feature branches with git branch feature_foo dyne/master; you can "publish" them on github using git push origin feature_foo
