Step 1: Fork repository

Before making modifications of this project, you need to make sure that this project have been forked to your own repository. It means that there will be parallel development between this repo and your own repo, so be careful to avoid the inconsistency between these two repos.

Step 2: Clone the remote repository

If you want to download the code to the local machine, git is the best way:

git clone https://your_repo_url/community.git

Step 3: Develop code locally

To avoid inconsistency between multiple branches, we SUGGEST checking out to a new branch:

git checkout -b new_branch_name origin/master

Then you can change the code arbitrarily.

Step 4: Push the code to the remote repository

After updating the code, you should push the update in the formal way:

git add .
git status (Check the update status)

git push origin new_branch_name
