[gmx-developers] creating a branch of the gitlab repo

[Christopher Mirabzadeh]

Thank you, Pascal. I have opened an issue:
https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues/3861

The feature is up for discussion and I would also like access to the repo
in order to submit merge requests. As I get reacquainted with the code base
I would like to contribute where possible. I requested access through the
gitlab interface and my user id is
@camirabzadeh.

Cheers,

-ChrisM
