Subject: [RFC] Contributing to Git (on Windows)
Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2018 12:35:39 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <176408fc-3645-66d3-2aa3-30ca3fa723e7@gmail.com> (raw)

We (Git devs at Microsoft) have had several people start contributing to 
Git over the past few years (I'm the most-recent addition). As we 
on-boarded to Git development on our Windows machines, we collected our 
setup steps on an internal wiki page.

Now, we'd like to make that document publicly available. These steps are 
focused on a Windows user, so we propose putting them in the 
git-for-windows/git repo under CONTRIBUTING.md. I have a pull request 
open for feedback [1]. I'll read comments on that PR or in this thread.

If you've ever done Git development on a Windows machine, I would love 
to hear your feedback on this document. Any other advice you have is 
greatly appreciated.

For anyone interested, there are also a discussion about submitting 
patches upstream. The document links to Documentation/CodingGuidelines 
and Documentation/SubmittingPatches, but tries to elaborate with 
additional advice.

Thanks,
-Stolee
