1. Fork the project

   1. After logging in, click on the "Fork" link at the top right of the project page.

      

   2. Specify the Project name, Group (or user account) the project should be under, and the name for the fork as Project slug. Set the Visibility level to Public, and click "Fork project"

      

2. Setup mirroring - This will keep the project's default branch up-to-date in your fork so you can always start your work from the most recent changes to the project.

   Alternatively you may manage this yourself by adding an extra 'upstream' git remote pointed at the original project, and routinely running 'git pull upstream/master','git push origin master' to update your fork.

   1. Open Settings → Repository from the project sidebar.

      

   2. Expand the "Mirroring repositories" section

      

   3. Enter the Git Repository URL starting with https://gitlab.com/anuket and ending with /<project>.git

      

   4. Check "Mirror only

      

3. Clone your fork

   There is a "Clone" drop down on the fork project page which provides git URLs to clone over SSH or HTTPS (to be passed to git clone) or magic links to clone the project through Visual Studio Code.

   

4. Checkout a new branch to make your change

   git checkout -b <mybranchname>

5. Edit the code, stage the changes (git add), and commit them to your branch

   Remember to include a 'Signed-off-by' line on your commits ( git commit -s if on the command line).
   

   1. In the UI: If you're going to be making more than one commit, uncheck 'Start a new merge request with these changes'

      

6. Push the branch to your fork

7. There will be a link returned in the console from running git push, which when clicked will automatically open a merge request to the upstream project.

   You can also create the merge request manually from the Merge Request page of your fork.
   

8. Fill out the details of your merge request.

   If you have multiple commits, write a detailed explanation about what you're asking to be merged in. You can also add "Draft: " to the title to signal that changes are still being made.

9. Wait for CI to pass and a committer (identified by the CODEOWNERS file) to review and merge.

   

   If the project is utilizing hardware for their CI, a developer will need to approve your pipeline to run before it is tested.
