Contributing to KWSys
*********************
-Overview
-========
+Patches
+=======
KWSys is kept in its own Git repository and shared by several projects
via copies in their source trees. Changes to KWSys should not be made
directly in a host project, except perhaps in maintenance branches.

+KWSys uses `Kitware's GitLab Instance`_ to manage development and code review.
+To contribute patches:
-to contribute changes directly to KWSys upstream. Once changes are
-reviewed, tested, and integrated there then the copies of KWSys within
-dependent projects can be updated to get the changes.
+#. Fork the upstream `KWSys Repository`_ into a personal account.
+#. Base all new work on the upstream ``master`` branch.
+#. Run ``./SetupForDevelopment.sh`` in new local work trees.
+#. Create commits making incremental, distinct, logically complete changes.
+#. Push a topic branch to a personal repository fork on GitLab.
+#. Create a GitLab Merge Request targeting the upstream ``master`` branch.
