Contributing Patches
Review the following style guides:
Currently the project is alpha-testing Gerrit Code Review for Git based patch submission and review. To use the alpha testing instance hosted at eclipse.org:
- Register a user account
- Add one or more public SSH keys
- Execute SSH once to accept the host key (or copy it from the registration web page)
ssh -p 29418 username@egit.eclipse.org
- Upload your patch from Git to the target project:
git push ssh://username@egit.eclipse.org:29418/egit/parallelip-jgit.git HEAD:refs/for/master
Or, create a new bug and attach a Git formatted patch file, as produced by the `git format-patch` tool.
