This documentation contains a set of guidelines to help you during the contribution process.
Below you will find the process and workflow used to review and merge your changes.
- Take a look at the Existing Issues or create your own Issues!
- Wait for the Issue to be assigned to you after which you can start working on it.
- Note : Every change in this project should/must have an associated issue.
- Fork this Repository. This will create a Local Copy of this Repository on your Github Profile.
Keep a reference to the original project in
upstream
remote.
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
cd <repo-name>
git remote add upstream https://github.com/<upstream-owner>/<repo-name>
- If you have already forked the project, update your copy before working.
git remote update
git checkout <branch-name>
git rebase upstream/<branch-name>
Create a new branch. Use its name to identify the issue your addressing.
# It will create a new branch with name Branch_Name and switch to that branch
git checkout -b branch_name
- Work on the issue(s) assigned to you.
- Add all the files/folders needed.
- After you've made changes or made your contribution to the project add changes to the branch you've just created by:
# To add all new files to branch Branch_Name
git add .
# To add only a few files to Branch_Name
git add <some files>
- To commit give a descriptive message for the convenience of reviewer by:
# This message get associated with all files you have changed
git commit -m "message"
- NOTE: A PR should have only one commit. Multiple commits should be squashed.
- Now you are ready to your work to the remote repository.
- When your work is ready and complies with the project conventions, upload your changes to your fork:
# To push your work to your remote repository
git push -u origin Branch_Name
- Go to your repository in browser and click on compare and pull requests. Then add a title and description to your pull request that explains your contribution.
- Create a Pull Request which will be reviewed and suggestions would be added to improve it.
- Add Screenshots to help us know what this enhancement/implementation is all about.
Your Pull Request has been submitted and will be reviewed by the maintainer and merged.
