Getting a Copy of Graaf

If you want to get a copy for development purposes, simply fork it here. In case you are looking to install Graaf on your project, please take a look at the README.

Cloning Your Fork

After forking the repository, you can clone it locally as you would any other repo:

git clone git@github.com:your-user-name/graaf.git

This will clone the repository at your current directory under ./graaf, which would already be enough to start making changes and open a pull request.

However, at some point you might want to sync changes from the upstream repository into your feature branch (for instance when a critical bug has been patched and your feature relies on the fix). By default your clone is set up to your forked repository on Github, you can verify this by:

$ git remote -v
origin	git@github.com:your-user-name/graaf.git (fetch)
origin	git@github.com:your-user-name/graaf.git (push)

To track and sync changes from the upstream, we add a new remote:

git remote add upstream git@github.com:bobluppes/graaf.git

Now, we can merge changes from the upstream like so:

git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/main
