Preferred way to use git

["Badai Aqrandista" <badaiaqrandista@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

What's the better way of using git?

1. Clone linus' tree, then develop on it, then commit on it, then create patches from it
2. Clone linus' tree, create my own branch, develop on my branch and occassionally merge from linus' branch
3. Clone linus' tree, then create my own clone, then develop on my own clone and occassionally pull from the linus' tree clone

I might miss the documentation on this or I just can't find the anything about it.

Thanks,
