How to submit modified code deployed by a Quarks package?

Open MNF opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

If someone install Quarks NuGet package and made useful changes(e.g. bug fix or improvement), what is the process to submit the change back to the repository? I prefer something more simple then fork full repository,clone, change the file(s),commit, push, create pull request.

You could navigate to the file on GitHub, click the edit button which looks like a pencil, paste your modified code, write a title and description, and then click "Propose file change". This process automatically forks and creates a pull request without you having to clone the repository.

I think it only works for changing a single file though, so you wouldn't be able to increment the version of the package in its associated .nuspec file as well. Unfortunately I don't know of a more simple process than the standard "fork full repository, clone, change the file(s), commit, push, create pull request". It would be heavenly if NuGet supported this as a Visual Studio plugin of some sort, but that's probably just wishful thinking. I suppose there's nothing stopping somebody from inventing a standards-based way of doing this.
