GitHub Setup

Create a fork of https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT.git using XRT GitHub page. This fork will be called origin in git parlance. upstream refers to the location where you forked from. It will be something like "https://github.com/<username>/XRT.git"
Clone the forked repository to local server : git clone https://github.com/<username>/XRT.git
Configure your git remote : https://help.github.com/articles/configuring-a-remote-for-a-fork/
Here is an example

$ git remote -v

origin https://[email protected]/user/XRT.git (fetch) origin https://[email protected]/user/XRT.git (push) upstream https://[email protected]/Xilinx/XRT.git (fetch) upstream https://[email protected]/Xilinx/XRT.git (push)

Make changes; test changes; commit to your local repository
<Optional> : Squash your change history if you wish by rebase your changes: git rebase -i origin/master
push the changes to your fork on GitHub into the master branch. git push origin master
Go back to GitHub page and create Pull Request. This will show up on upstream at https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT.git
Admins review the change and commit them to upstream
Sync your origin with latest changes in upstream for master branch git pull --rebase upstream master git push origin master
