<p>You need to do this only once. The instructions here are very similar
to the instructions at <a class="reference external" href="http://help.github.com/forking/">http://help.github.com/forking/</a> — please see
that page for more detail. We’re repeating some of it here just to give the
specifics for the <a class="reference external" href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net">matplotlib</a> project, and to suggest some default names.</p>

<p>If you don’t have a <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com">github</a> account, go to the <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com">github</a> page, and make one.</p>
<p>You then need to configure your account to allow write access — see
