Contributing
We welcome most contributions. While it is our goal to allow everyone
to contribute, contributions not meeting the project's standards may be
rejected. If this happens to you, don't fret. We usually provide reasons
for rejection to give you the opportunity to correct anything out of
place. Consider asking first before attempting to make sweeping
changes.
First fork the HandBrake repository using GitHub's web interface, and
clone the fork to your local machine (git clone my-fork).
Then create and switch to an appropriately named local branch to track
your changes
(git checkout master; git checkout --branch branch-name).
This allows you to make as many changes as you like without affecting
the master branch, and helps identify groups of changes
when submitting pull requests later on.
To make a change, edit the appropriate file(s), commit them to your
local branch (git add changed-files; git commit), and push
the branch to your fork on GitHub
(git push my-fork branch-name). You're now ready to open a
pull request using GitHub's web interface.

GitHub Flow.
