How to Contribute

Contributions are welcome! Not familiar with the codebase yet? No problem! There are many ways to contribute to open source projects: reporting bugs, helping with the documentation, spreading the word and of course, adding new features and patches.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account.
  • Open a new issue, assuming one does not already exist.
  • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.

Making Changes

  • Fork this repository.
  • Create a feature branch from where you want to base your work.
  • Make commits of logical units (if needed rebase your feature branch before submitting it).
  • Check that your changes are PEP8 compliant (for instance using Pycharm or pylint).
  • Make sure your commit messages are well formatted.
  • If your commit fixes an open issue, reference it in the commit message (f.e. #15).
  • Run all the tests (if existing) to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

These guidelines also apply when helping with documentation.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a feature branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a Pull Request.
  • Wait for maintainer feedback.
