[phpMyAdmin Developers] The phpMyAdmin repo on GitHub is a Dev (uninstalled) version. Thus many files are NOT even there. How do we commit fixes to THOSE missing files?

The theme.css file is a generated file, that is why it is not in the
repository. You have to change the files inside the scss directory and then
run "yarn build" to compile the Sass files into CSS files.

The theme.css is an ignored file. See the .gitignore file.

You can't commit directly to phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin repository because you
don't have the necessary permissions. But you can pull from this
repository, since it is public.
The common workflow for GitHub is to fork the repository and clone the
forked repository locally. Then you can add the upstream repository as an
additional remote with the "git remote" command to be able to pull new
changes.
If you want to contribute some changes, you can create a new branch, then
commit the changes, then push this branch to your forked repository, and
finally open a pull request on GitHub.


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