Clone a copy of your forked IGB repository onto your local computer. Make You will make changes to your local clone, commit them to your local repository, and then ultimately push your changes upstream to your fork.

To clone your fork, use git clone with the address of your fork. (Copy the address from the Overview page.)

Make a branch

However, before you get started, you should first create a new branch for the changes you intend to make. This will allow you to issue focused, low risk pull requests that can be easily merged with other branches of development.

To make a branch:

• First, synchronize your local copy of the code with the latest development branch using git checkout. For example, if the development branch is igb_8_3, you would execute:

git checkout igb_8_3

• Next, create a branch for the changes you plan to make:

git branch <BRANCH> 

where BRANCH is the name of the branch, e.g., IGBF-203, the name of a story in the IGB JIRA issue-tracking system.

Now, all commits will be associated with the branch you've just created. Commit your changes and then push them to your fork hosted on bitbucket.
