             Summary: Update contribution guidelines to add the option of cloning from a fork
                 Key: BEAM-3575
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3575
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: website
            Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh


The contribution guidelines currently show how to clone Beam from the GitHub read-only mirror and then to add the user's own GitHub repo as a remote. However, it's also possible (and common) to fork the repo manually and then to clone the forked repository and work with the original repo as a remote. We should update the contribution guidelines to show this as an alternative.
