Pull requests via Github - To Fork or Not? That is the Question

Testing RSpec
1

Hi,

I’ve been coming up with some documentation examples, which I’d like
to contribute as Cucumber features to go into the relishapp.

I started following the contribute instructions on the rspec-dev
README[1] but have a question about pull requests.

Should I clone from the rspec/* projects on github, or fork them all
and then setup my local development environment from my own forks?

If the preferred method is to clone from the official rspec/*repos
then it presumably wouldn’t be possible to submit pull requests.

Thanks,
James.

Do whichever is easiest for you. You can follow the directions in the
readme and then fork the repos and point your local repos at your fork
instead of rspec’s repo. Assuming, for example, your github account is
jmartin:

in rspec-core

git remote rm origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/jamesmartin/rspec-core.git

Make sense?

Looking forward to your contributions. Thanks!

Cheers,
David

Thanks, David. That makes perfect sense.
