Now you have your own copy where you can change the sources if needed (e.g. directly in the Web-browser). That is the repo you will clone onto your target machines as mentioned in Warner`s prepared tutorial : git clone -b (while b is the branch, let’s say normally it is : master), without the -b flag you would Copy all branches(you don’t need them all) If you make changes in the sources: git pull / git push For later(advanced): If you reach the "merge - conflict - area“ you can do a : git reset hard (to commit number) You can set the original Fbsd-repo git repo as the remote , while your local copy is mostly called : origin ...git remote add … (useful if you want to synchronize your local copy with updated src) Writing patches which can go to Phabricator I guess is not your intention for now. For Desktops there is a git desktop version, which I use sometimes to revert single-patches and synchronize upgraded sources from local to remote , otherwise I find that Desktop-tool quite useless :-) Unknown for me if Fbsd will accept PRs(PullRequests) from the public in the near future… The „issues“ - tab is for discussing bugs.. So for the beginning: just click Fork and clone the master-brach of YOUR Fbsd-copy onto your target machine.. This is written in 3 minutes out of my head, a bit chaotic :-) and misses details( the web is full of tutorials, some good and some useless ;-)..
