## Forking and Cloning from GitHub to GitHub
1. Fork <https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/> to a repo under a namespace you control, or have permission to use, example: `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`. You can do this from the github.com website.
2. Clone `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/` with the tool of you choice.
3. To keep your fork in sync with our repo, add an upstream remote for pi-hole/pi-hole to your repo.
```console
git remote add upstream https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole.git
```
4. Checkout the `development` branch from your clone `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.
5. Create a topic/branch, based on the `development` branch code. *Bonus fun to keep to the theme of Star Trek/black holes/gravity.*
6. Make your changes and commit to your topic branch in your repo.
7. Rebase your commits and squash any insignificant commits. See notes below for an example.
8. Merge `development` your branch and fix any conflicts.
9. Open a Pull Request to merge your topic branch into our repo's `development` branch.
- Keep in mind the technical requirements from above.
## Forking and Cloning from GitHub to other code hosting sites
- Forking is a GitHub concept and cannot be done from GitHub to other git based code hosting sites. However, from those sites may be able to mirror a GitHub repo.
1. To contribute from another code hosting site, you must first complete the steps above to fork our repo to a GitHub namespace you have permission to use, example: `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.
2. Create a repo in your code hosting site, for example: `https://gitlab.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`
3. Follow the instructions from your code hosting site to create a mirror between `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/` and `https://gitlab.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.
4. When you are ready to create a Pull Request (PR), follow the steps `(starting at step #6)` from [Forking and Cloning from GitHub to GitHub](#forking-and-cloning-from-github-to-github) and create the PR from `https://github.com/<your_namespace>/<your_repo_name>/`.
## Notes for squashing commits with rebase
- To rebase your commits and squash previous commits, you can use:
```bash
git rebase -i your_topic_branch~(# of commits to combine)
```
- For more details visit [gitready.com](http://gitready.com/advanced/2009/02/10/squashing-commits-with-rebase.html)
1. The following would combine the last four commits in the branch `mytopic`.
```bash
git rebase -i mytopic~4
```
2. An editor window opens with the most recent commits indicated: (edit the commands to the left of the commit ID)
```gitattributes
pick 9dff55b2 existing commit comments
squash ebb1a730 existing commit comments
squash 07cc5b50 existing commit comments
reword 9dff55b2 existing commit comments
```
3. Save and close the editor. The next editor window opens: (edit the new commit message). *If you select reword for a commit, an additional editor window will open for you to edit the comment.*
```console
new commit comments
Signed-off-by: yourname <your email address>
```
4. Save and close the editor for the rebase process to execute. The terminal output should say something like the following:
```console
Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/mytopic.
```
5. Once you have a successful rebase, and before you sync your local clone, you have to force push origin to update your repo:
```console
git push -f origin
```
6. Continue on from step #7 from [Forking and Cloning from GitHub to GitHub](#forking-and-cloning-from-github-to-github)
