Question: could I offer a patch without having a GitHub account?
Definitely I can access the source code. The review tools are not on GitHub. But is it even possible to host my proposed changes elsewhere, not on GitHub? I suppose that the answer is negative, but surprises happen.
This is a relatively theoretical question, but it explores the "what bad Microsoft can do to you" avenue: it can close your GitHub account, likely seriously hampering your ability to contribute.
- steveklabnik 1y agoThis is my understanding from reading the docs just now: You submit patches to Phabricator, not to GitHub. https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/contribution_quickref.html https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/contrib... > To submit a patch for review, we use a tool called moz-phab. That does mean you need an account on Phabricator, but not on GitHub https://moz-conduit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/phabricator-user.html https://moz-conduit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/phabricator-use...
