Mapstraction - Jul 2011 - How to contribute to Mapstraction

Hi all,

Derek uploaded a new Mapstraction build today:
https://github.com/mapstraction/mxn/downloads

This made me revisit an email to this list from Vito Tafuni about a year
ago. In it, Vito spelled out the steps to contribute to Mapstraction:

1. make a fork of the project on github
2. git clone git-repos-address folder
3. cd folder
4. make your changes
5. git status - give info about changes made on files
6. git add . or git add filename1 filename2 ... - only if you have added new
files
7. git commit or git commit filename - the latter version of the command let
you comment the changes on a single file
8. git push - send changes to the repo you''ve forked
9. ask for a pull on github

There''s actually an additional step of creating a branch for your
changes
and sending the pull request from there rather then just using your master.
Makes it far easier for the changes to be merged back into trunk.

There''s a page on the wiki here:

Cheers,
Derek
