Here's how I setup a fork....

Here's how I setup a fork:

I'm still mainly using http://gitextensions.googlecode.com/. A 2 minute guide to how I work is:

      • choose fork on here to create your own copy of mvx
      • assuming you're on windows, then install http://gitextensions.googlecode.com/ selecting default options along the way
      • once installed, then choose Remotes>Putty>Generate Key to create a new SSH2 Key - save the private key somewhere and copy the public key to https://github.com/settings/ssh
  • after that... with perhaps just a little bit more fiddling through "Load Key" dialogs, then you should be able to:
    • clone your fork to a local git repository on your own hard drive
    • edit the code
    • commit changes in your fork back to you local git repository
    • push changes in your fork up to your github git repository
