Adam,
I recently submitted some code to wireshark. I found that the process is simple. Can you share the link where you found the instructions?
This is what I do (This may have some mistakes, but it worked).
1) git clone
git clone
https://code.wireshark.org/review/wireshark2) Install the commit-msg hook. This is required to generate the 'Change-Id' in the commit message
b. copy it to <source_tree>/.git/hooks/commit-msg
3) Create a branch with appropriate name that describes your change
ex: git checkout -b tls11_dec_pms
4) make changes and commit them locally with appropriate comment. The commit-msg hook will add the change-id.
5) Submit the change for review using 'git push'
If you make further changes over the originally submitted change, run 'git rebase -i origin', and choose 'squash' on newer changes, so that there is a single change (do this after committing the newer changes locally). Then run the command in step 5 above.
