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. Sync to upstream periodically (for long running features, read:daily)
   1. git checkout <feature-branch>
      This sets your local working 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)
6. Submit When you have some code to contribute, submit changes to the Review Board
   1. Create an Apache Review Board account at http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/users/tools/post-review/]
   2. Install RBTools
   3. Set the default reviewboard.url, e.g. git config reviewboard.url https://reviews.apache.org
   4. Call post-review
   5. Edit the resulting URL to assign a reviewing group and to describe the change.
      RBTools automates creating a diff file that captures the changes you've made and publishing them to the ReviewBoard site.
