.. _forking:
==========================================
Making your own copy (fork) of matplotlib
==========================================
You need to do this only once. The instructions here are very similar
to the instructions at https://help.github.com/forking/ |emdash| please see
that page for more detail. We're repeating some of it here just to give the
specifics for the matplotlib_ project, and to suggest some default names.
Set up and configure a github_ account
======================================
If you don't have a github_ account, go to the github_ page, and make one.
You then need to configure your account to allow write access |emdash| see
the ``Generating SSH keys`` help on `github help`_.
Create your own forked copy of matplotlib_
===========================================
#. Log into your github_ account.
#. Go to the matplotlib_ github home at `matplotlib github`_.
#. Click on the *fork* button:

Now, after a short pause you should find yourself at the home page
for your own forked copy of matplotlib_.
