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, it's quite easy to make mistakes or not know what you should do when you're initially learning the process. I know that I certainly had considerable initial trouble with it, and 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 client to clone your repo or j

First, clone the repository of the project :

  mkdir /tmp/project-name
  git clone ...

Create a packages.json file in the root, containing the following :

	<?php

	// Constants
	$FIREBASE = "_YOUR_FIREBASE_URL_";
	$NODE_DELETE = "temperature.json";
	$NODE_GET = "temperature.json";
	$NODE_PATCH = ".json";
	$NODE_PUT = "temperature.json";

	// Data for PUT

	<div class="off-canvas-wrap" data-offcanvas>
	<div class="inner-wrap">
	<nav class="tab-bar">
	<section class="left-small">
	<a class="left-off-canvas-toggle menu-icon" href="#"><span></span></a>
	</section>

	<section class="middle tab-bar-section">
	<h1 class="title">Offcanvas example</h1>
	</section>

	Please take a look at the original article (http://www.softwareprojects.com/resources/programming/t-optimizing-nginx-and-php-fpm-for-high-traffic-sites-2081.html) as it includes excellent configuration file examples.

	1. Switch from TCP to UNIX domain sockets:
	When communicating to processes on the same machine UNIX sockets have better performance the TCP because there's less copying and fewer context switches.

	2. Adjust Worker Processes:
	Set the worker_processes in your nginx.conf file to the number of cores your machine has and increase the number of worker_connections.

	3. Setup upstream load balancing:
	Multiple upstream backends on the same machine produce higher throughout than a single one.
