Ok look I was having blind guy having to sign up for yet another crappy web 
service draw back.  Let me just say Wow this git hub stuff works really well 
and I am going to use it for some stuff I am working on.  Very nice.  

If all went well I have a pull-request in.  If I don't please let me know so I 
can figure out what I did wrong.

Thanks,


ken

Hi all

Ken sorry to bring all this trouble to you. You don't have to do 
anything. You can just send the patch to this list, like in the (g)olden 
days :-). However if you do create a form on github, push your changes 
there it will be much more likely that we will integrate it. I can only 
speak for myself, but github pull requests have made my live as a 
maintainer drastically simpler. It's much easier to integrate patches 
that way. We can discuss pull requests, improve them, get feedback from 
the originator, etc. I think it helps improve the quality of the software.

And please lets focus on one repo and not create more branches on 
bitbucket. That is a sure recipe to get the patch forgotten. I will not 
look there.

So to answer your question, yes afaik you do need an account on github 
and I don't know if you can create a from from the command line. There 
are command line tools for github out there for example 
https://hub.github.com.

Thanks
Christian
