Super quick git crash course to edit the openvpn.8 man page

# First time using git
$ git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
$ git config --global user.email y...@full-email-address.com

# Grab a copy of the openvpn git repos
$ git clone  git://git.code.sf.net/p/openvpn/openvpn.git
$ cd openvpn

$ cd doc
$ vim openvpn.8   # Or your favourite editor. Make changes and save
$ git add openvpn.8
$ git commit -s  # Write a good commit message
$ git format-patch HEAD~1

Voila, you have now a file named 0001-$SOMETHING.patch.  This can be
mailed to the mailing list.  Either as an attacment, or send it via some
mailer program (f.ex. git send-email).  If you start sending patches
more regularly, we generally prefer that you use git send-email.

For a more comprehensive git course, have a look here:
