# Trying out issue forks on Drupal.org!



Have you heard that Drupal.org now has issue forks for Git-based contribution versus patches? This means we can now work in a pull-request style workflow on Drupal.org issues. It's an opt-in beta, and I have not had a chance to work with the feature yet.

This Sunday, June 28, I am looking to finally give it a try. So let's explore with me on a live stream! We have it enabled for the Drupal Commerce and Commerce API module. I will pick an issue and explore the issue forks workflow.

 [Opt-in to the Drupal.org Issue Forks and Merge Requests beta

We're very excited to report that we're now very close to opening up a beta test of merge requests integrated with Drupal.org issues. Stepping back for a moment, let's remember the ideal contribution flow that we defined when evaluating our Developer tool options:
