1. Create an account on GitHub.
   See Setting Up Git
2. Fork the Apache Repo:
   1. Go to https://github.com/apache/incubator-cloudstack.
   2. Click Fork.
      See Fork a Repo
3. Clone your fork:
   git clone https://github.com/<username>/incubator-cloudstack.git
4. Configure remote:
   1. git remote add upstream https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git
      The GitHub repo is a mirror and not the definitive source, so we use https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-cloudstack.git and not https://github.com/apache/incubator-cloudstack
5. When your fork needs to get the latest from it's parent fork (gh:apache/cloudstack). And you should do this periodically (read:daily) for a long running feature
   git fetch upstream
   1. git checkout <feature-branch> #This is
      This sets your local feature branch likely mirroring a remote feature-branch at originworking set to the branch you want to pull the latest changes into.
   2. git fetch upstream
   3. git merge upstream/<feature-branch> (or git merge --no-ff to preserve git branching history)
