Make a development branch to do your work

    git checkout -b work-branch-name
    
If you are using Goland as an IDE, now would be a good time to enable automatic gofmt on save of files with the File Watches plugin [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33774950/execute-gofmt-on-file-save-in-intellij](StackOverflow)

When you are done, rebase squash any multiple commits you have into one

    git rebase -i master
    
Test the code and check it has not quality issues

    ./testing/tests.sh
    ./testing/quality.sh
    
Ideally run the ingegration tests (~5 minutes)

    cd testing
    go test
    
push your branch (-f for *force* in the case you've rebased and squashed)

    git push origin work-branch-name -f
    
create a [pull request](https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch/pulls)

If you have fixes, you can ammend them to the current commit rather than a new one with

    git commit --ammend
    git push -f
