Hi Team,

I am trying to contribute to the existing Git repos.

I have followed the process from the below link 

https://wiki.centos.org/Sources

[user@host]$ git clone  https://git.centos.org/git/rpms/kernel.git 
cd kernel
# let's work on the centos7 kernel
[user@host]$ git checkout c7
[user@host]$ ~/bin/get_sources.sh
# switch to the local tree to edit
[user@host]$ git checkout -b my-kernel
# make edits to SPEC file, etc 
[user@host]$ git commit -m 'my local change' -a

This command    ~/bin/get_sources.sh  has downloaded the xxxx.tar.gz file in the SOURCES directory.

Now I have extracted the tar file and did the changes. 

At this stage If I commit then I have to include all the extracted files. 

If I run git format-patch c7  it generate the file which includes all the files.

Please  guide me how to contribute  to the existing GIT REPOS.


Thanks and Regards,
Amarjeet Singh
