Hi Nic, The qgis-developer list sounds a more responsive channel for this kind of request.
In the meantime, I see two ways to do what you want. In both cases, I think you could need to read https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/ for the vocabulary * use github web interface: the easiest imho (I used it for months) - go to the file you want to change in the master branch of qgis/QGIS repository - Put it into edit state - modify the file. - Propose your file changes with a clear and descriptive message --> QGIS will create a new branch in your repo (sthg like yourname/QGIS/patch-1) and propose you to create a pull request. If it's the only change you have to do, you can create a pull request (ensure it's against the qgis/master branch and not your master branch). Your work can then be reviewed by the community. - If you have other files to modify, browse your above yourname/QGIS/tree/patch-1 branch to the files you are looking for. And as above, commit your changes - If all needed files are modified, you can create a new PR from http://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pulls * use a git-based software to be able to push your changes from local to online branch and manage your repository. https://git-scm.com/downloads It can be a GUI based or a command lines tool, depending on your OS. Some links for command line : https://services.github.com/on-demand/downloads/github-git-cheat-sheet.pdf Thanks for offering your fix.
