Suggestion required on Remote Repo?

[sy...@stevendyates.com]

Hi devs, is there a way I can use github or alike as a non committer  
to set up a remote repo for SAMZA as I often work on SAMZA tasks  
between multiple locations and would find it easy to push my changes  
somewhere.

Your thoughts would be appreciated as I don't like to replicate my  
local branches between home / work etc , and diff changes between  
them. Seems like an antipattern.

Thanks

Hi Steven,

You can just click the "fork" button on https://github.com/apache/incubator-samza to create a copy of the repo on your own Github account. You can then commit and push to that copy as much as you like. That's a good way of syncing changes between different machines.

When you push a branch to your own fork, Github will offer to make a pull request for you. Please don't use that for submitting patches, please use Apache's ReviewBoard and Jira instead (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-149 for discussion).
