New Post: How to submit changes with least effort?

@freaksterrao, First of all I would say Hi and welcome in ScreenToGif Community, glade to see you with us ;).....

I do not know how to merge changes from root to my fork.

to merge the root (or the upstream in Git language) with your local repository and with your remote fork you should create a link to the principal repository of the project for our case : https://git01.codeplex.com/screentogif

To create a remote upstream, type the following command but you should pointing in your directory project using git command :

 git remote add upstream https://git01.codeplex.com/screentogif

If you want to merge the root (upstream) changes with your local repository type this command (Remember you should pointing in your directory project ) :

git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master

...and to update your fork in codeplex :

git push origin

...the git program will demand your username/password to access your fork , that's all, you can check your fork for the new update.

However I highly recommend to use branches (the default branch is "Master") for every features and delete it after pull the related request, so the master branch will always be intact ....for more details you can check this mini tutorial about this concept, it has helped me a lot to understand this feature.

Good "Giting" :D
