Pushing commit to remote repo

Go to the relevant local repository and push your commit in the following format:

git push [email protected]:yocto-metrics patch-status-improvements-contrib:contrib/ninette/patch-status-improvements-contrib

Create and share Pull request

After committing changes to the remote repo, you can create Pull request patch files with the following:

LOCAL_PATH/poky/scripts/create-pull-request -u REMOTE_REPO -s "PR_TITLE"

For example for yocto-metrics it will be like this:

~/poky/scripts/create-pull-request -u https://git.yoctoproject.org/yocto-metrics/ -s "M10: Metrics view"

The patch files can be emailed to yocto team through their mailing list or internally through NH sales team.
