This document explains how to collaborate on work in progress by using Git and pushing changes to GitHub.
Alternatives would be to email code diffs or use codereview.chromium.org and git cl patch
. However they are brittle and time consuming when patches do no apply cleanly and or are part of several pipelined or dependent patches.
Collaboration via git is made easy by simply using git merge
to include code from other patches into a local branch you are working with.
--prune
to remove any remote-tracking references that no longer exist on the remote.
