How to use git

Clone PocketMine-MP

Get the clone URL from pmmp/pocketmine-mp

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pmmp/pocketmine-mp.git  # clone the original repository into PocketMine-MP.git
$ cd pocketmine-mp.git  # change directory to PocketMine-MP.git

How to make a pull request

Go to the pmmp/pocketmine-mp repository and hit the Fork button. You should now have a forked repo from pmmp/pocketmine-mp in your own repositories.

Get the clone URL from the fork and clone it into another directory:

$ git clone git clone <YOUR SSH/HTTPS clone URL> pocketmine-mp-fork.git  # clone the original repository into PocketMine-MP-Fork.git
$ git checkout -b feature  # create and switch to branch feature (it can be any name)
$ git branch # shows current branch
* feature  # current branch
  master

Make your changes to the code and commit it:

Note

Only commit changes described in the commit message

$ git status  # check the status
$ git add <filename>  # add all changed files
$ git commit -m 'description of changes'  # make a commit with a message
$ git push origin feature  # push to your branch

Take a look at GitHub and make a pull request. If the pull request is accepted and merged, you can pull the changes back into your fork.

Note

To pull from the original repository you need to add the upstream $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/pmmp/pocketmine-mp.git

$ git checkout master  # switch back to the master branch
$ git fetch upstream  # download latest commits from the upstream
$ git merge upstream/master  # merge changes from upstream/master into your master branch

Remove the branch you made with

$ git branch -d feature  # remove the branch to keep it clean
