+FRR accepts patches using GitHub pull requests (PRs). The typical FRR
+developer will maintain a fork of the FRR project in GitHub; see the
+GitHub documentation for help setting up an account and creating a
+fork repository. Keep the ``master`` branch of your fork up-to-date
+with the FRR version. Create a dev branch in your fork and commit your
+work there. When ready, create a pull-request between your dev branch
+in your fork and the main FRR repository in GitHub.

 Code submitted by pull request will be automatically tested by one or more CI
