Thanks for your interest in this project.
The Eclipse Memory Analyzer is a fast and feature-rich Java heap dump analyzer that helps you find memory leaks and reduce memory consumption.
The Memory Analyzer code is stored in a git repository. The URLs to access it are:
ssh://@git.eclipse.org:29418/mat/org.eclipse.mat https://@git.eclipse.org/r/mat/org.eclipse.mat
A web browsable repository is available at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/mat/org.eclipse.mat.git/
Information regarding source code management, builds, coding standards, and more.
The MAT repositories are accessed through Gerrit, the code review project, which makes it possible for anybody to clone the repository, make changes and push them back for review and eventual acceptance into the project.

Once the patch is pushed back to Gerrit, the project committers will be informed and they will undertake a review of the code. The patch may need modifying for some reason. In order to make amending commits more straightforward, the steps at https://git.eclipse.org/r/Documentation/cmd-hook-commit-msg.html should be followed. This automatically inserts a “Change-Id” entry to your commit message which allows you to amend commits and have Gerrit track them as the same change.
What happens next depends on the content of the patch. If it is 100% authored by the contributor and is less than 1000 lines (and meets the needs of the project), then it can be committed to the main repository. If not, more steps are required. These are detailed in the legal process poster:
