How does one do this?
Ive given the good old college try or three, but Im not figuring out how to rebase things or delete branches or any of those nifty internal maintainance things I occassionally see.
I figure I can ask here so that should I get an answer it will be documented here.
pedit: I mean where can/do I input this code? Im seeing only 1 viable location, the ‘create a new branch/switch a branch’ area in my own fork.

Start [here](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=1063.0). You may also look [here](http://github.com/help).
I don’t think you can (or want to) do too much on the github web app, better use a local client.

Do you have GitHub Desktop? It comes with a command line that you can use to rebase.

When I asked i2amroy for help figuring out rebase, i2amroy gave me a link to the git-scm website:[https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#\_interactive\_mode](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase#_interactive_mode) I was too stupid and sleep deprived to figure out his advice that day. i2amroy, thank you for taking the time to help me.
