So, you want to contribute to this project! That's awesome. However, before
doing so, please read the following simple steps how to contribute. This will
make the life easier and will avoid wasting time on things which are not
requested. :sparkles:
First of all, open an issue in the repository, using the bug tracker,
describing the contribution you would like to make, the bug you found or any
other ideas you have. This will help us to get you started on the right
foot.
If it makes sense, add the platform and software information (e.g. operating
system, Node.JS version etc.), screenshots (so we can see what you are
seeing).
It is recommended to wait for feedback before continuing to next steps.
However, if the issue is clear (e.g. a typo) and the fix is simple, you can
continue and fix it.
Fork the project in your account and create a branch with your fix:
some-great-feature
or some-issue-fix
.
Commit your changes in that branch, writing the code following the
code style. If the project contains tests (generally, the test
directory), you are encouraged to add a test as well. :memo:
If the project contains a package.json
or a bower.json
file add yourself
in the contributors
array (or authors
in the case of bower.json
;
if the array does not exist, create it):
json { "contributors": [ "Your Name <and@email.address> (http://your.website)" ] }
Open a pull request, and reference the initial issue in the pull request
message (e.g. fixes #). Write a good description and
title, so everybody will know what is fixed/improved.
If it makes sense, add screenshots, gifs etc., so it is easier to see what
is going on.
Before accepting your contributions, we will review them. You may get feedback
about what should be fixed in your modified code. If so, just keep committing
in your branch and the pull request will be updated automatically.
Finally, your contributions will be merged, and everyone will be happy! :smile:
Contributions are more than welcome!
Thanks! :sweat_smile:
