How to submit changes to RetroPie for possible inclusion?
-
I've made a change to my system. It allows the runcommand launch menu dialog ("press a button to configure...") to still be displayed when images are enabled if no image is found. Current default behavior is that when images are enabled, the dialog is never shown; if no image is found, nothing is displayed at all.
It's one line changed in
runcommand.sh. How can I submit this change for possible inclusion in the "master" version? Something about "fork the repository and submit a pull request." I've never used Git except blindly following steps in a tutorial once or twice. Is this something I can do in a web browser, or do I need to get Git on my Pi and do it from CLI? Is there a basic tutorial somewhere? Googling "how to submit changes to RetroPie" just gave me lots of hints on how to change the look of my own copy of RetriPie, nothing on how to submit changes to the package itself. -
Once you've forked the RetroPie-Setup repository (as you've already done), create a branch in it and modify the file you want. Then you can submit a PR from the browser, based on your modified branch - https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork.
