If video.js as a dependancy in one of your projects and you want to make experimental changes to video.js source code you can point your project to your local copy of this repository. Once you have made your changes to video.js/src/ run npm run-script build. Navigate to the root directory of the project using video.js as a dependency and run npm install <path-to-video.js-root-directory>#<branch-name>.
There can be problems in using your local copy as a dependancy. If you are having trouble you can create a new repo on your personal github account and push your changes there. Make sure to build before you push.
git remote add upstream <your-git-repo>
git push upstream <branch-name>
Alternatively you can fork this repo directly. You can then point your project to the new repo using npm install <your-github-name>/<your-repo-name>#<branch-name> from the project's root directory.
If you would like to make a pull request to Softwire's video.js repository and you're a member of the Softwire Employee's team: Change the version number of your local copy of video.js in the package.json file. Build, commit the change with a message along the lines of updated to version-<new-version-number> and built and then push to your repo. Next create a new branch at Softwire/video.js with name master-<new-version-number>. From your own video.js repo create a pull request into the new branch of Softwire/video.js.
