Another question: how to test my code locally to see if it works? I have phpMyAdmin installed, i the same time I'll work on the copy I pulled from GIT, then how would I try my fixes? would I try the copy of PMA from GIT after I edit the code? or can I merge that code to the PMA I already installed?
The easiest way to test your code is by cloning Github’s phpMyAdmin master branch. You should create your Git repository for phpMyAdmin inside the document root of your local webserver, so you can reach the cloned folder by accessing a subfolder of localhost in your browser. Then, do your code changes in the local copy, and test them in the browser. As soon as the bug that you’re working on is fixed, stage (add) the files in Git and commit them with a proper commit message.
