I cannot figure how to do a pull request - It only seems to want to do a "compare"

In the meantime I have the 1st draft of a "launcher" working for the "this user only" installation script..

Here a broad overview of the pull request workflow:

  1. Fork - This creates a copy of the arduino/arduino-ide repository for you to submit your pull request from.
  2. Branch - This creates a copy of the repository contents inside your fork for you to make your changes in.
  3. Make the desired changes to the files in the branch. You can make simple changes via the GitHub web interface, but for more complex changes you may want to clone the repository to your computer so you can work on it there.
  4. Commit - this enters the files you have made into the branch in your fork.
  5. Pull request - this proposes a change to the arduino/arduino-ide repository
  6. Continuous integration - Some automated tests will now run to check whether there are any problems with the code in your pull request.
  7. Review - The IDE maintainers are other interested parties can now provide feedback on your proposal. They may request changes, which you can make by committing to the branch of your fork you submitted the pull request from. These commits will automatically be added to the pull request
  8. Approval - Once any problems with the pull request which were revealed during the automated testing or reviews are resolved, a maintainer can approve it.
  9. Merge - The changes proposed in your pull request are integrated into the arduino/arduino-ide repository.

Which step are you at?

Hi, thanks so much for the explanation... I have managed to Fork and Branch

but when I try to clone to my PC I only get the main branch, not the new one I created and entered into...

git clone GitHub - ArduinoShop/arduino-ide: Arduino IDE

any ideas??

After cloning the repository, you should be able to cd to the folder you cloned it to and then use the command git checkout Linux_Install to checkout your development branch.

THANK YOU!!! - this was the missing link - I seem to have github working for me now, rather than vice-versa. Busy writing the scrips....

I am not editing any files - only adding 3 or 4 to be included in the "Linux" package..
One of them is an icon I made just for testing...

On a totally unrelated topic - whenever I install the IDE the first thing is do is replace 2 files in the core to get "printf" - old 'C' programmer like me can't live without it... Does Arduino have any thoughts about including it?

This is the current state of things as far as official support goes:
