1. Check out the `master` branch with `git checkout master`.
2. Retrieve new changes to the `master` branch with `brew update`.
3. Create a new branch from the latest `master` branch with `git checkout -b <YOUR_BRANCH_NAME> origin/master`.

4. Make your changes.
* For formulae, use `brew edit` or your favorite text editor, following all the guidelines in the [Formula Cookbook](Formula-Cookbook.md).
* If there's a `bottle do` block in the formula: don't remove or change it; we'll update it when we pull your PR.
5. Test your changes on each changed formula by doing the following, and ensure they all pass without issue. (Make sure you do the `brew audit` step while your changed formula is installed.)
5. Test your changes by doing the following, and ensure they all pass without issue. For changed formulae, make sure you do the `brew audit` step while your changed formula is installed.
1. `brew tests`
2. `brew install --build-from-source <CHANGED_FORMULA>`
3. `brew test <CHANGED_FORMULA>`
4. `brew audit --strict <CHANGED_FORMULA>`
6. Make a separate commit for each changed formula with `git add` and `git commit`.
7. Upload your new commits to the branch on your fork with `git push --set-upstream <YOUR_USERNAME> <YOUR_BRANCH_NAME>`.
8. Go to https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core and create a pull request to request review and merging of the commits in your pushed branch. Explain why the change is needed and, if fixing a bug, how to reproduce the bug. Make sure you have done each step in the checklist that appears in your new PR.
8. Go to the relevant repository (e.g. https://github.com/Homebrew/brew, https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core, etc.) and create a pull request to request review and merging of the commits in your pushed branch. Explain why the change is needed and, if fixing a bug, how to reproduce the bug. Make sure you have done each step in the checklist that appears in your new PR.
* Please note that our preferred commit message format for simple version updates is "`<FORMULA_NAME> <NEW_VERSION>`", e.g. "`source-highlight 3.1.8`". `devel` version updates should have the commit message suffixed with `(devel)`, e.g. "`nginx 1.9.1 (devel)`". If updating both stable and `devel`, the format should be a concatenation of these two forms, e.g. "`x264 r2699, r2705 (devel)`".
9. Await feedback or a merge from Homebrew's maintainers. We typically respond to all PRs within a couple days, but it may take up to a week, depending on the maintainers' workload.
