GitHub Management

Best working practice for contributing to this package is as follows:

1. Fork the repository to your own account
2. Changes to existing files should be done in those files. New files may be added, but do not duplicate existing functions. Commit often. If you are working on a fork, be sure to try syncing with the original branch:

$ git fetch upstream

More information about fetching the upstream branch and then merging with your local files can be found in the GitHub help for managing forks. This then brings your local master branch up to date with any changes you've made, and preserves your changes as part of the git workflow.

3. Now you can push to your GitHub account (git push) and initiate a pull request from your fork. This is documented on the GitHub Help for Creating a pull request from a fork.
