Track your changes to an open-source project with git
Here are some of the projects on which I have overlaid my code, with the help of git:
- mythtv
- ampache
- wordpressmu
- recess
- a proprietary project hosted privately behind an openvpn connection
All of these currently use subversion, which git can read from and write to. Some of them (read: "mythtv") are insanely active. Git can help you remain sane while you try to overlay your changes on top of a moving target.
I have used two approaches:
- [Setting up your own public repo on top of an open-source project]
- [Work on an open-source project anywhere with git]
