Developer Guide

If you want to be part in the development here is a guide on how to setup your local repository.

1. • Get the development repository from https://github.com/gesiscss/face2face<https://github.com/gesiscss/face2face> and create your own fork by clicking on the fork button.

   • Clone the repository to your local computer by using:

     git clone git@github.com:your-username/face2face.git
     

   • After that you have to add the upstream repository. Navigate to the face2face folder and do the following

     git remote add upstream git@github.com:face2face/face2face.git
     

   • You should have two remote repositories now:

     • upstream, this repository refers to the original face2face repository

     • origin, this is the repository of you personal fork

2. • Pull the latest changes from upstream:

     git checkout master
     git pull upstream master
     

   • Commit your progress locally

   • Create a branch for your new feature or for the bugfix that you want to add to the toolbox. Use a meaningful name as a branch name like ‘Feature_XYZ’:

     git checkout -b Feature_XYZ
     

3. • Push your local changes to the fork on GitHub:

     git push origin Feature_XYZ
     

   • Use the green Pull Request button, that shows up in the new branch
