Hi all,

I have a lot of experience with PHP/MySQL but not much with Git. I figure this question should be an easy one for you but I can't figure it out and would really appreciate your answer(s).

Here is my question:

I've downloaded and installed phpMyAdmin from Git using the "composer update" and "yarn install --production" commands. The installation was fine and I fixed a bug that happens to be in the \themes\pmahomme\css\theme.css file. So far so good but when I tried "commit"-ing the change it turns out the file theme.css in NOT EVEN THERE on the original GitHub master repo, due to - (of course) it's NOT installed and the \themes\pmahomme\css\ folder is actually empty (no files at all there).

-- How can I commit a change to theme.css if theme.css is not even there in master?

-- Also: I forked the master repo to MY GitHub account and then cloned it down to my local machine. Now do I commit DIRECTLY TO phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin -> master? (Different places have that information differently - some do NOT mention I need to fork - but suggest cloning directly from "master" - I wanted to know ONE CORRECT WORKING WAY of the whole procedure.)

I would really appreciate your answers to the (what turned out to be) 2 questions.

Thank you,

Angelo Grebenarov
