I had used git to clone back the strace code from sourceforge few days ago. And then I copied these code to somewhere else in my local computer and start to work in the local directory. This is some kind same to download from a snapshot because I lost the git data by just copying the source code. I will make changes to my repository and this time I will start from a clone. > Your workflow could be: > - start from a complete clone > - in your clone branch from master to do your work (eventually > creating multiple smaller branches as needed) > - rebase and merge frequently (ideally daily or more) from the > upstream strace repo to keep up to date > - when done with a logical chunk of work, create a patch to submit to > the mailing list for review. Thank you for your advise about the workflow! I am really new to open source project and feel some kind lost about how the open source development work. I found the strace code changing every week. And I will merge the latest strace code to my github regularly to keep up to date. I am going to do some cleaning on my github. I tried some git commands and it seems brought some small problems to the repository. And I need to study more about git and the source control things. > At the minimum by using a base strace clone, we could comment on your > work directly in your github repo, on things like code style and so on. Yes, I realized It would be better to make it clear what code I accutually wrote. In my strace_GSOC2014 repository, I had made a tag v1.0 to the base strace code. --- YangMin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
