simplify contributing process #26
Description
Activity
Thanks! We'll use this bug to track the improvements to the contribution process, which we are working on improving.
👍
This Github Gerrit plugin could be evaluated
/cc @lucamilanesio for the plugin
Is this googlebot behaviour on other Google projects on github enought to let collect directly PRs here? If you want to get a pass with Gerrit you can also use the Gerrit github plugin I've already mentioned.
Also nice to evaluate is https://github.com/facebook/mention-bot
You're correct. We're working on the process. It'll get better.

ExoPlayer like github management could be a starting point.@bhack: fixed our scripts to have more informative / separate commits: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/commits/master
Hope that helps a bit.
@bhack: other projects probably have a more natural relation with github because they only have one source of truth. We have git, and we have our internal repository that we also contribute to actively, so the merge commit is unavoidable when trying to merge two different lineages.
That being said, now that we've moved to individual commits, the merge commit shouldn't be that bad. And it's basically the same as the merge commit from a pull request on github.

Currently the contributing process is rather complex... I have to use another website, clone the repo, and more. I'm just interested in making some minor tweaks to the documentation that normally can be done with just a few clicks using GitHub.
