Pull Requests

Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits. If your contribution involves a significant amount of work or substantial changes to any part of the project, please open an issue to discuss it first.

Make sure to adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project (indentation, accurate comments, etc.). Please update any documentation that is relevant to the change you're making.

Pull Request Process

Please follow this process; it's the best way to get your work included in the project:

  1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

    # Clones your fork of the repo into the current directory in terminal
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<this-repo-name>.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <folder-name>
# Assigns the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/<this-username>/<this-repo-name>.git

  2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:

    git checkout master
git pull upstream master

  3. Create a new topic branch to contain your feature, change, or fix:

    git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>

  4. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these git commit message guidelines or your pull request is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use git's interactive rebase feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.

  5. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:

    git pull [--rebase] upstream master

  6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:

    git push origin <topic-branch-name>

  7. Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description.
