The first is for accessing the repo via the git protocol; the other two are for access via https (one for reading, the other for pushing). Choose either (I prefer the git protocol). > - I can clone the git.php.net repo, but how/when is this bridged to/from > GitHub? Are there tools for dealing with PRs?

My workflow is: * download a formatted patch of the PR (e.g. <https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/php/pecl-database-ibm_db2/pull/9.patch>) * git am that patch * push to the git.php.net repo To publish a new release, first build the package with pecl package (it will remind you tag), and then upload it via <https://pecl.php.net/release-upload.php>. > Any guidance or RTFM (with links) is appreciated. Thanks! If you have further questions, just ask. :) Regards, Christoph
