I don't think the "how to contribute" document is the right place for instructions on specific git techniques like that. May i recommend the Git Book's chapter on distributed workflows? I think the "Public Small Project" workflow is directly applicable to your question. Specifically check out how they use 'git checkout my-branch; git rebase -i origin/master' to update their fork and incorporate recent changes from the main repo into their branch. http://git-scm.com/book/en/Distributed-Git-Contributing-to-a-Project#Public-Small-Project -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DreamFactory - Open Source REST & JSON Services for HTML5 & Native Apps OAuth, Users, Roles, SQL, NoSQL, BLOB Storage and External API Access Free app hosting.
