If you would like to contribute a feature, or a bug fix to the
tinyproxy source, please send a patch (preferably as a unified
diff. i.e. "diff -u") against the "master" branch of the tinyproxy
repository. Please include a description of what your patch does.
source code git repository to the tinyproxy-developers mailing list.
Please include a description of what your patch does.
Tinyproxy's git repository is git://www.banu.com/tinyproxy.git .
The command "git clone git://www.banu.com/tinyproxy.git" creates
a local copy.
The easiest and preferred way to create a patch for submission
is to check in your changes locally and use the command
"git format-patch" to generate a mbox-style commit file that
contains the diff along with the commit message and author information.
Such a format-patch file can be integrated into the upstream repository,
automatically keeping the commit message and author information.
You can also meet developers and discuss development issues and
patches in the #tinyproxy IRC channel on freenode (irc.freenode.net).
