Contributing to WordPress Core
summary
Walks through cloning the repo with git clone, setting up a local MAMP server, creating a DB, importing WP Test data from WP Test and making a real patch: add an Easter egg to body_class for posts titled "WordCamp Singapore", run git pull, edit with WordPress coding standards (spaces in function calls, braces, single quotes, Yoda conditions, use ===), produce a diff via git diff, name the patch by ticket number, upload to the core Trac where ~37,000 tickets exist and ~10% remain open.
