Subject: [Boost-build] What is the proper workflow to fork library, test, and pull request?

What is the expected workflow to be able to fork a library, build and test it, and then do a pull request against my changes? Is this written up anywhere? So far I haven’t stumbled across it.

I am familiar how to do this for a normal GitHub repository. But I have run into a number of false starts.

Forked date_time, but I was manually building it and a few of its tests.
cloned the boost super repo (which did give me everything). But it isn’t a fork.
Forked boost super repo and cloned forked repo (as I would in a normal project). But it is missing almost everything.

Steven has pointed out how to go about testing part. So I think the missing piece is what is the proper way to clone so I will have what I need to be able to build and test a particular library and then perform a pull request?

Thanks.
