Using Github

With Github changes are immediate, there is no need to wait. The result is also display near the commit on Github.

Testing before committing

we can just send a pull request toward a branch with the needed changes to https://github.com/gentoo/linux-patches

Using Git

With git we are using a time check done every 10 minutes.
So the build can take some time before starting.

Testing before committing

making a branch like 4.11_001 will test the new commit in the new branch

root #git checkout 4.11

root #git branch 4.11_001

change files

root #git push -u origin 4.11_001

check buildbot that is building the pushed branch

for removing the branch

root #git push origin --delete 4.11_001

for removing it locally

root #git branch -D 4.11_001

Stabilizing

pushing files to git.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git will start to run some test for stabilizing the package.
