Updating the repository

To submit an update:

Fetch the latest changes from the upstream repository.
```
$ git fetch upstream
```
Check out a new branch from upstream/main.
```
$ git checkout -b <new_branch> upstream/main
```
The upstream/main branch is the upstream parent branch of new_branch.
Make your edits.
To test your changes, build the titles affected by the changes you made. View the built files in a browser.
View the current status of your local repository.
```
$ git status
```
Stage the changes for the files that you want to add to a commit.
```
$ git add <file_name>
```
Commit the changes, including a short message summarizing your changes.
```
$ git commit -m "<descriptive_commit_message>"
```
It’s useful to include the Jira issue number at the start of the message: when you view the commit history, it is clear which commits relate to your current work. The following example also mentions the title affected by the changes.
```
$ git commit -m "AAP-516 Add external database assembly to Operator Install guide"
```
For guidelines on commit message style, see this article.
Push the changes to your forked repository on GitHub. This backs up your local changes.
```
$ git push origin HEAD
```
Create a pull request. A pull request proposes that the changes you made to a branch in your fork be merged into a branch in the upstream repository. See Creating a pull request.
