You can certainly clone from github.com/git/git, no problem, or make a fork. The "publish only" remark means that commits/patches don't reach that repo through pull requests, i.e., they don't really enter "through" GitHub. Rather, they reach Junio (the maintainer) through this mailing list. He'll carefully collect the various topics flying around here and turn them into branches, and publish those at various places, one of which is github.com. Thus "publish only". Anyway, long story short, you've found the right place. :-) And all that said, there is a way of making a GitHub pull request in a way that it reaches this mailing list: GitGitGadget. I saw that Emily referred you to MyFirstContribution.txt -- you'll find more there. By the time you feel ready to submit a patch, feel free to cc me and I'd be happy to try to review it. And even before then, if you have any questions, just ask. :-) Martin
