A Pull Request is often just the start of a longer process of patching and refining the code until it's ready to merge. In that process it's common to accumulate a lot of commits, some of which are non-functional. Before merging any PR, excess commits need to be "squashed" and sometimes rearranged or reworked to produce a well-packaged set of changes and keep the commit history relatively clean.
-In addition, while a PR is being worked on other commits may be merged, leading to conflicts that need resolution. For this reason, it's a best practice to periodically refresh the PR so the working copy closely reflects the final merge.
+In addition, while a PR is being worked on other commits may be merged, leading to conflicts that need resolution. For this reason, it's a best practice to periodically refresh the PR so the working copy closely reflects the final merge into upstream `MarlinFirmware`.
#### Merge vs Rebase
-I recommend not using Github Desktop to sync and merge. Use the command line instead. Github Desktop provides a "merge" option, but for best results "`git rebase`" is recommended. Merge applies new work after your commits. This buries them and makes it hard to bring them together as a final packaged unit. Rebase moves your commits to the end of the branch, ensuring that your commits will be adapted to the current code. This makes it easier to keep revising the commits in-place.
+If you plan to create PRs and work on them after submission I recommend not using Github Desktop to sync and merge. Use the command line instead. Github Desktop provides a "merge" option, but I've found that "`git rebase`" is much cleaner and easier to manage. Merge applies new work _after_ your commits, which buries them deeper in the commit history and makes it hard to bring them together as a final packaged unit. Rebase helpfully moves your commits to the tip of the branch, ensuring that your commits are adapted to the current code. This makes it easier to keep revising the commits in-place.
### The Scripts

+The following scripts can be used on any system with a GNU environment to speed up the process of working with Marlin branches and submitting changes to the project.
#### Remotes
File|Description
----|-----------
-mfadd [user]|Add Remote - Add another Github user's fork of Marlin as a remote, then fetch it. After this you can check out one of their branches and either make a PR targeted at their fork or targeted at `bugfix-2.0.x`.
-mfinit|Init Working Copy - Creates a remote named '`upstream`' (for use by the other scripts) pointing to the '`MarlinFirmware`' fork. Use once after checking out your fork.

+mfinit|Init Working Copy - Create a remote named '`upstream`' (for use by the other scripts) pointing to the '`MarlinFirmware`' fork. This only needs to be used once. Newer versions of Github Desktop may create `upstream` on your behalf.
#### Branches

----|-----------
-mfnew [branch]|New Branch - Creates a new branch based on `upstream/[PR-target]`. All new work should start here.
+mfnew [branch]|New Branch - Creates a new branch based on `upstream/[PR-target]`. All new work should start with this command.
+mffp|Fast Push - Push the HEAD or a commit ID to `upstream` immediately. Requires privileged access to the MarlinFirmware repo.
firstpush|Push the current branch to 'origin' -your fork on Github- and set it to track '`origin`'. The branch needs to reside on Github before you can use it to make a PR.

#### Making / Amending PRs
File|Description
----|-----------
mfpr|Pull Request - Open the Compare / Pull Request page on Github for the current branch.
mfrb|Do a `git rebase` then `git rebase -i` of the current branch onto `upstream/[PR-target]`. Use this to edit your commits anytime.
-mfqp|Quick Patch - Commit all current changes as "patch", `mfrb`, and `git push -f`.
