[Toaster] Testing patches for Toaster using Travis & Github

[Michael Wood]

Hi All,

For a while now I've been using the patchwork[3] event mechanism to push 
test branches to github->travis: you can see the various series branches 
here https://travis-ci.org/toastertester/toaster-next/branches

If you want to test your Toaster patches using Travis rather than 
locally or by sending them to the mailing list you can:

1) Login to Github
2) Click on "Fork" the repository button on 
https://github.com/toastertester/toaster-next
3) Clone or add your new fork as a remote e.g. git remote add 
my-toaster-next git at github.com:username/toaster-next.git or git clone 
git at github.com:username/toaster-next.git
4) Do your work, add some commits
5) Do a git push to my-toaster-next or in your forked repo
6) Go back to the web page for your forked repository and hopefully if 
you haven't got any conflicts you can then click "New pull request"

An example of this is https://github.com/toastertester/toaster-next/pull/1

Which creates a test run on Travis automatically see: 
https://travis-ci.org/toastertester/toaster-next/pull_requests

OR

Instead of all of the above you could set up your own Travis and 
Github[1] and add the .travis.yml[2] in the root of your repository as 
an additional patch you carry
