**[e107][1]** is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) which allows you to manage and publish your content online with ease. Developers can save time in building websites and powerful online applications. Users can avoid programming completely! Blogs, websites, intranets – e107 does it all.
1. Run the following commands, replacing '~' with your document root (the parent of `public_html`) and xxx:xxx is the intended owner of your e107 files.
* Please submit 1 pull request for each GitHub issue you work on.
* Make sure that only the lines you have changed actually show up in a file-comparison (diff).
Some text editors alter every line; this should be avoided.
* It is recommended to configure `git pull` to rebase on the master branch by default to avoid unnecessary merge commits. You can set this up in your copy of the repo's `.git/config` file like so:
```
[branch "master"]
rebase = true
```
* See the [CONTRIBUTING](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) document for a tutorial on getting started.
