== Submitting Code to the Project ==
The following will cover how to submit code once you've made changes to your branch.  The examples here assume you have already performed the following steps:
#Branched lp:opencompute/opencompute-testing.
#Made changes or additions
#Tested your changes or additions
#Committed your changes or additions

=== Launchpad ===
As noted early on, you will need to be logged in via bzr to submit code.  This is accomplished using the '''bzr launchpad-login''' command:
<pre>
bzr launchpad-login <YOUR_LAUNCHPAD_USERNAME>
</pre>

You will likely also need to have created and submitted an SSH key to Launchpad to use for submissions.  This is explained here:
https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

=== Pushing Changes ===
Once you have committed your changes, you need to push them to YOUR OWN branch on Launchpad.  To do so, cd into your branch and do the following:
<pre>
bzr push lp:~<YOUR LP USERNAME>/opencompute/<YOUR BRANCH NAME>
</pre>

Example:
<pre>
bzr push lp:~bladernr/opencompute/ocp-cert-cleanup
</pre>

=== Merge Requests ===
Once you have pushed your branch to Launchpad, you need to make a merge request.  To do so you need to do the following things:
# In a web browser, go to http://code.launchpad.net/~YOUR_LAUNCHPAD_USERNAME
# Click on the name of the branch you just pushed
# Under '''Branch Merges''' click on '''Propose for merging'''
# Under '''Target Branch''' select '''Other''' and enter '~opencompute-developers/opencompute/opencompute-testing'
# In the Description text box, enter a summary of the changes you made
# Click the '''Propose Merge''' button at the bottom of that page

This is submit your merge request.  At this point, it will be reviewed, commented on, approved or sent back for fixing.
