# Contributing to NetBSD or pkgsrc using the GitHub repositories

TODO: write a quick abstract regarding this document!

## First needed steps

`Fork' the project that you would like to work:
 
 - Point your favourite browser to http://github.com/jsonn/<project> (where
   <project> can be `src', `pkgsrc', etc.)
 - Press the `Fork' button on GitHub

Proceed with cloning it (where <user> is your username):

 $ git clone git@github.com:<user>/pkgsrc.git

Now create a branch for the feature that you would like to implement and
checkout to it!:

 $ git branch <feature>
 $ git checkout <feature>

OK! Now we are finally ready to go!


## Keep the repository in sync

To inspect all the differences you can use:

 $ git fetch upstream
 $ git log <feature>..upstream/trunk

Then to merge them:

 $ git merge upstream/trunk
