# How to Submit Patches for libndp # ======================================= Send changes to libndp as patches to libndp-list@redhat.com with copy to jiri@resnulli.us. Avoid using attachments because usually it doesn't work. In another words, inline the patch inside the e-mail's body. The simplest workflow to send changes is using git. The following steps will guide you to do the task. 1) Clone the source code on your local machine. $ git clone https://github.com/jpirko/libndp.git 2) Create a local branch for you $ cd libndp $ git checkout -b testbranch 3) Do your changes <> 4) Commit them to the repository $ git commit -a -s 5) Optionally, you can verify how it looks like in the repo $ git show 6) Extract the patch in a standard format into /tmp directory $ git format-patch origin -o /tmp --subject-prefix "patch libndp" 7) Use git send-email to send the patch*. $ git send-email /tmp/0001-somepatch.patch \ --to=libndp-list@redhat.com --cc=jiri@resnulli.us And you are done :) * You may need to configure smtp in order to send emails, so please check the "Example" section in the reference [3] below as a start.
