This allows you to freely experiment with your changes. +When your changes are complete, submit a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/). +All pull requests will be reviewed and merged if they suit some general guidelines: + +* Changes are located in a topic branch +* For new functionality, proper tests are written +* Changes should follow the existing coding style and standards + +Please continue reading in the following sections for a step by step guide. + +## Fork the Project + +[Fork the project](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) to your GitHub account +and clone the repository: + +``` +git clone git@github.com:jdoe/icingadb-web.git +cd icingadb-web +``` + +Add a new remote `upstream` with this repository as value. + +``` +git remote add upstream https://github.com/icinga/icingadb-web.git +``` + +You can pull updates to your fork's master branch: + +``` +git fetch --all +git pull upstream HEAD +``` + +Please continue to learn about [branches](#branches). + +## Branches + +Choosing a proper name for a branch helps us identify its purpose and possibly +find an associated bug or feature. +Generally a branch name should include a topic such as `fix` or `feature` followed +by a description and an issue number if applicable. Branches should have only changes +relevant to a specific issue. + +``` +git checkout -b fix/service-template-typo-1234 +git checkout -b feature/config-handling-1235 +``` + +Continue to apply your changes and test them.
