IIRC Dirk did mention that he would accept pull-requests?
If so then that would mean that your repo must be public, and I guess
the easiest way is to just fork Dirk's github project (let's call this
master) to your own github account (let's call this your branch) and
issue a pull from there?
You then in turn, clone from your github account your branch to your
workstation (let's call this local copy) and do the edits there.
So the flow model of your changes would be:
local copy => your branch => master
You also need to get the updates to your local copy from master, which
means that you need to add master as a remote so you can fetch/merge all
the other changes which you then push to your github branch.
So the flow model of others changes would be:
master => local copy => your branch
Or you can continue in the old way, sending patches by email from your
local copy.
Did I get this right?
