How to use forks in GitHub

GitHub Forking

Whether you're trying to give back to the open source community or collaborating on your own projects, knowing how to properly fork and generate pull requests is essential. Unfortunately, when I started going through the process of forking and issuing pull requests, I had some trouble figuring out the proper method for doing so and made quite a few mistakes along the way. I found a lot of the information on GitHub and around the internet to be rather piecemeal and incomplete - part of the process described here, another there, common hangups in a different place, and so on.

In an attempt to coallate this information for myself and others, this short tutorial is what I've found to be fairly standard procedure for creating a fork, doing your work, issuing a pull request, and merging that pull request back into the original project.

Creating a Fork

Just head over to the GitHub page and click the "Fork" button. It's just that simple. Once you've done that, you can use your favorite git cli

Convert git-svn tag branches to real tags

Convert git-svn tag branches to real tags

Reference: http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/02/16/convert-git-svn-tag-branches-to-real-tags.html

This information was found in the article above and has been summarized below!

In the process of converting from Subversion to Git, tags get a bit confused and show up as branches instead once converted over. This can be pretty inconvenient, especially when using git branch since a ton of branches would show up such as tag/1.2, and so on. A little bit of scripting and Git magic can clear this up easily.

First, use git svn to convert your repository. Then, use this script to convert all of the tag branches into actual tags, and finally make sure they’re deleted properly:
