I don't know about other people but I find git kind of confusing. I thought it would be useful to try to document the normal workflow for different use cases: 1. Contributing a patch 2. Reviewing and integrating a patch that is contributed 3. Doing development as a committer 4. Keeping a copy of your local work on github (since it doesn't seem Apache has a place to keep local backups of work in progress).
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Git+Workflow I would like to link this up from the contributor page to help people (including my future self). Objections? I am not a git expert, so any feedback to improve these recipes or bug fixes (since I haven't tried everything) would be very much appreciated. If you are about to do one of the above things, try the recipe and see if it can be improved. Cheers, -Jay
