Most people submit pull requests to the tldr project using GitHub's web interface.

If you prefer, you can do most of the process using the command line instead. The overall process should look somewhat like this:

  1. Fork the tldr repository on the github web interface.

  2. Clone your fork locally:
    git clone https://github.com/{{your_username}}/tldr.git && cd tldr

  3. Create a feature branch, e.g. named after the command you plan to edit:
    git checkout -b {{branch_name}}

  4. Make your changes (edit existing files or create new ones)

  5. Commit the changes (following the commit message guidelines):
    git commit --all -m "{{commit_message}}"

  6. Push the commit(s) to your fork:
    git push origin {{branch_name}}

  7. Go to the github page for your fork and click the green "pull request" button.

Please only send related changes in the same pull request. Typically a pull request will include changes in a single file. (Exceptions are occasionally acceptable.)
