## How to get your changes merged

- Fork this repository

- Clone your repository

  1. Alternatively, you can add a remote called `fork`:

  `$  git remote add fork https://dev.tildefriends.net/YOUR_USERNAME/tildefriends.git`

  You'll need to set your branch's upstream to `fork`:

  `$ git push --set-upstream fork my-branch`

  2. or you can change the `origin` remote on your existing clone altogether:

  `$ git remote set-url origin https://dev.tildefriends.net/YOUR_USERNAME/tildefriends.git`

    In all cases:

    - Make sure that your commit messages are descriptive.

If you've edited C code: run `make format`
