Re: [Pcb2gcode-devel] m4 function

[<ni...@co...>]

If you don't know how to use git just fork the official repository (https://github.com/pcb2gcode/pcb2gcode), clone it on your computer (git clone <link>), apply your modifications, do a git add <files> of the modified files, git commit and a git push. After that open a pull request, so I can review the code and comment it.
