Hi,
Okay, normally I would have forked the galaxy-dist and do a pull request with my change.
But the change I want to commit is in the tool 'add_value', which is in the toolshed. Seems like a safer approach to me to contribute to the toolshed. How can I commit my changes to that tool? Can somebody of the devteam grant me acces? Do I send the diff by email :-) ?
Yes, please send the patch to the mailing list and/or the devteam (toolshed should have a contact button). Also try to fill a trello card :)
Thanks! Bjoern
In general the upstream repository for a given tool will depend on the tool author's preferences. They may not even use a separate repository and work directly with the ToolShed in some cases. In other cases you might be able to contribute directly via a github pull request (planned for the NCBI BLAST+ tools), or a bitbucket pull request (the Galaxy team like bitbucket).
The 'add_value' tool is under 'devteam' and it was original in the main Galaxy repository under BitBucket - I don't know where it lives now outside the tool shed: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/devteam/add_value
