How to contribute in pencil devel?

Compilation and Development
1

Hello,

I think I know c++ at a sufficient level.

I want to help developing Pencil - my question is what should I do if I want to modify the source code?

more detailed:

  1. I shoud create my own accont on http://bitbucket.org/ or on http://github.com/ and then make my own fork and work on it?
  2. or just download latest source code, make my modifications and then publish them as a one file - patch to source code , for example publish link to such a file on this forum?
  3. or another way?
thanks

 

PS. I like pencil, although I’m not using this as a tool in any way.

Hi, Zbyshek @szoszon

First of all, thanks for your participation.

The 1st way is the most encouraging way, creating a fork of original repo on github/bitbucket,
and send me a “Pull Request” after you made some improvement.
Two reference links: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests

Matt,

Although I did not understand anything of the technical words regarding to your work and other developers, I found it very interesting the last link you provided, and I just got a felling that something is really starting to move inside Pencil…

Great effort from you!
