Step by Step

• Fork this repository to your GitHub account: <your_github_user>. To do that, navigate to https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-www and click fork in the top right corner of the page.
• Then, clone your fork to your local workstation: git clone git@github.com:<your_github_user>/cloudstack-www.git
• Cloning this way will make your GitHub fork the origin remote.
• cd cloudstack-www
• Add the official repo as the upstream remote: git remote add upstream git@github.com:apache/cloudstack-www.git

git checkout main
git fetch upstream
git pull upstream main

Once you've made local changes and tested locally if you can, you may commit your changes as follows:

git add .
git commit -am "your commit message"
git push origin main

Create a PR

• Confirm the changes appear correctly on your GitHub account.
• Create a Pull Request against main on the https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-www repository.
