Welcome, contributors and users! We have exciting news that will optimize your development experience with the Polkadot SDK. We’ve recently merged our three repositories—Cumulus, Substrate, and Polkadot—into one streamlined repository. This change is intended to enhance collaboration and create a more efficient platform for future developments. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to adapt to these changes, include instructions for resubmitting pull requests (PRs), and provide troubleshooting tips along the way!

Why Merge the Repositories?

Merging repositories is much like bringing together ingredients to create a great dish. When separate items are combined thoughtfully, they can produce a more cohesive and delightful result. By consolidating our codebase into the Polkadot SDK, we provide a more efficient platform that fosters better contributions and collaboration.

Steps to Adapt to the New Polkadot SDK Repo

• Explore the New Repository: Head over to the Polkadot SDK on GitHub and familiarize yourself with the structure. Don’t forget to give it a star!
• Update Your Local Environment: If you’ve been working on any of the old repositories, update your local environments accordingly. Clone the new repository if you haven’t already.
• Resubmitting Your Pull Requests: If you currently have an open PR in any of the merged repositories, you must resubmit it in the new repository. This ensures your contributions are reviewed under the new context.

How to Resubmit Your Pull Request

Here’s a quick guide to resubmit your PR:

• Go to the Polkadot SDK repository.
• Fork the repository to your account.
• Apply changes from your original PR to your forked version.
• Create a new pull request against the new repository, making sure to explain the context of your contribution.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any hiccups during this transition, here are a few troubleshooting steps:

• If you have issues cloning the new repository, ensure your GitHub permissions are up to date.
