Interested in becoming committer - Where to fork ?

Hi All!,

I am interested to contribute code changes in Kafka but couldn't find
enough information regarding forking the codebase on
https://kafka.apache.org/contributing.  As per https://kafka.apache.org/code
, one can use https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka.git kafka to
clone the repo. But there is also https://github.com/apache/kafka , should
we fork the github mirror and submit the PR or something else ?

Thank you for your time

Thanks for your interest in Kafka! Looking forward to your first PR! :)

Development happens via GitHub. Thus, you should clone
https://github.com/apache/kafka on GitHub and also open PR on GitHub
targeting https://github.com/apache/kafka

The Apache repo is the source of truth and it gets mirrored to GitHub.
Thus, when a PR gets merged, it's actually merged into the Apache repo
and than mirrored back to GitHub. But only committers that merge PRs
need to handle this. All development and PRs are done via GitHub.
