+Git Workflow
+============
+
+Update local repo with latest changes from upstream
+```sh
+git fetch
+```
+
+Create a new branch from the latest code
+```sh
+git checkout origin/master
+git checkout -b new_feature_branch
+```
+
+```sh
+# do work here
+```
+
+Create commit for submission
+```sh
+git commit -m "My Commit Message"
+```
+
+Prepare commit for inclusion
+```sh
+git fetch
+git rebase origin/master
+```
+
+Assuming no conflict, push to your personal fork.
+
+```sh
+git push myrepo new_feature_branch:new_feature_branch
+# Visit https://github.com/minios/minios and create a new pull request
+from your branch.
+```
+
+Useful Tools
+------------
+As an alternative to manually pushing and creating a branch, use github.com/docker/gordon pulls send command:
+
+Create a new pull request.
+```sh
+pulls send
+# automatically performs git push and creates pull request
+```
+
+Update an existing pull request (e.g. PR 42)
+```sh
+pulls send 42
+```
