I think it should work like this: Fork METADATA.jl on github web interface, get address of your fork and do
$ git clone g...@github.com:your-user-name/METADATA.jl.git $ cd METADATA.jl make a new branch: $ git branch mypack $ git checkout mypack add the stuff for your package in a folder, say MyPack, then: $ git add MyPack/* $ git commit -m "My fab package" push to github: $ git push --set-upstream origin mypack Go to github website of your fork of METADATA.jl and a green button 'Compare & pull request' should have appeared and you're a few clicks away from finishing the pull request.
