New emulator acquisition

This page is intended for RetroAchievements github administrators. It details how to uptake a user-provided repository for a new emulator.

Clone the repository

Assuming they following the steps outlined in Creating a new emulator, they should have three branches we care about: master, source, and whichever branch is associated to the PR

$ git clone https://github.com/USER/RANes.git
$ cd RANes
$ git checkout RANes

Compile and test the emulator. If there are any major issues note them in the PR - minor issues can be addressed after localizing the repository. If not, proceed to the next step.

Create an RA repository

Create a new repository in the RetroAchievements github, set it as upstream for the repository:

$ git checkout master
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/RetroAchievements/RANes.git
$ git push upstream master
$ git checkout source
$ git push upstream source

Merge the changes

Fork the new repository into your github

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/Jamiras/RANes.git
$ git checkout RANes
$ git push -u origin RANes

And create the PR from your repository to the master repository.
