1. Create topic branch
1. Commit patches
For GUI-related issues or pull requests, the https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository should be used.
For all other issues and pull requests, the https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin node repository should be used.
The master branch for all monotree repositories is identical.
As a rule of thumb, everything that only modifies `src/qt` is a GUI-only pull
request. However:
* For global refactoring or other transversal changes the node repository
should be used.
* For GUI-related build system changes, the node repository should be used
because the change needs review by the build systems reviewers.
* Changes in `src/interfaces` need to go to the node repository because they
might affect other components like the wallet.
For large GUI changes that include build system and interface changes, it is
recommended to first open a pull request against the GUI repository. When there
is agreement to proceed with the changes, a pull request with the build system
and interfaces changes can be submitted to the node repository.
The project coding conventions in the [developer notes](doc/developer-notes.md)
must be followed.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the
development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree
repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork
that repository unless it is for development reasons.
