GitHub is the most popular hosting service for open source projects
today, and much of our documentation assumes developers know what it is
and how to use it. That's probably not a fair assumption on our part -
GitHub may be widely used in the open source community but a huge part
of our target audience is people who have historically worked in closed
source exclusively. I'll try to remedy that with a few links to
documentation.

You do need to sign up and create an account at http://github.com. Once
you do that, you'll want to fork the SPDK repository, make your changes
on a branch, and then open a pull request using the web UI. The
official documentation is here:

https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/

There is an extremely detailed tutorial from Digital Ocean at

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-pull-r
equest-on-github

It's got way more information than is probably necessary, but it should
cover any question that comes up.

I hope that helps. We welcome contributors and selected GitHub for our
hosting to make the process as familiar as possible to the widest range
of people.

Thanks,
Ben
