By example (though untested — if you find problems, please write them!):

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/hgext # where I personally keep hg extensions
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/durin42/hg-git/ ~/.local/share/hgext/hg-git
echo '[extensions]' >> ~/.hgrc
echo hggit = ~/.local/share/hgext/hg-git/hggit >> ~/.hgrc

hg clone git+ssh://git@github.com/freenet/website freenet-website

cd freenet-website
hg boo add_download_button
(edit stuff)
hg ci -m "added download button"

(browse to https://github.com/freenet/website and create a fork)

echo '[paths]' >> .hg/hgrc
echo default-push = git+ssh://git@github.com/ArneBab/website >> ~/.hg/hgrc 
# replace ArneBab with your name

hg push -r add_download_button

(browse to https://github.com/freenet/website and file a pull request
for the branch add_download_button)


I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
Arne
