  • Comment on any existing issue(s) raised by project maintainers. Otherwise raise a new issue.

Guidelines for raising a new issue:

  • Each issue should have an appropriate and short title like "Bug in Experience Page"

  • Whenever a participant raises an issue, by default it would be assigned to that participant due to obvious reasons.

  • Be specific about your intended changes/suggestions

  • Refrain from using phrases like "Hi, I am ..", "Please assign me this issue", "Thank You..", etc. We are only interested in technical parts

  • Attach a screenshot/clip if applicable

  • Please be patient enough. The project maintainers/mentors would review it as per their schedule. Refrain from putting up comments like "Please check this" ,"Please review this PR" etc.

  • An issue would be assigned to a participant for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 3 days. If the tenure of a particular participant is not over please do not spam the issue thread by writing, " I am interested" etc. You are welcome to do so if the participant has not met the requirements with around 12 hours remaining for their deadline.

  • Feel free to suggest your opinions on the already raised issues.

  • All participants are welcomed to suggest new features/bug fixes/improvements and raise new issues for those. However, the assignment would be done once approved by either of the project maintainers or the mentors.

  • Do not blindly comment on issues raised by other participant(s). Unless a minimum of 48 hours has passed since their assignment, the issue would not be re-assigned(excluding certain cases). The issue raised by a participant will always to be assigned to him/her by default. Do not spam "Interested", "Please assign me" in others issues.

  • Always keep a note of the deadline.

B. Contributing to the Project

  • Once the project maintainer(s)/mentor(s) have reviewed the issue/assigned you the issue. Start working on the changes.

1. Create a new branch (DO NOT name it MAIN or MASTER or anything random).

git checkout -b <your_branch_name>

2. Perfom your desired changes to the code base.

  • Make sure that you do not change any code unrelated to the task that you have been assigned

  • Ensure that your changes apply to all screensizes

  • Comment any new code addition(s)

  • Do not mess up the directory structure

  • Preview your changes and test them properly before proceding ahead

  • Make a small clip or take screenshots before and after making changes.

3. Track your changes:heavy_check_mark:

git add .

4. Commit your changes .

git commit -m "Relevant message" (usually title of the pull request)

  • Make sure to condense your changes into a single commit.

5. Push the committed changes in your feature branch to your remote repo.

git push -u origin <your_branch_name>

6. To create a pull request, click on compare and pull requests. Please ensure you compare your feature branch to the desired branch of the repo you are suppose to make a PR to.

7. Then add an appropriate title and description to your pull request that explains your changes and efforts done.

8. Click on Create Pull Request.

Guidelines for raising a pull request:

  • Each pull request should have an appropriate and short title like "Fixed Bug in Experience Page"

  • In case of multiple commits, please perform a rebase and make a squash commit before giving the pull request.

  • Pull Requests without a description would often not be reviewed. Make sure you describe your intended changes in the description section of the pull request. (Use bullet points and phrases)

  • Make sure to refer the respective issue in the respective PR using phrases like Resolves #issue_number or Closes #issue_number. Here's an example to raise a PR:

Work Done:

  • Fixed Responsiveness bug in the MOOC Section of the Education Page
  • Made the Favicon more optimized
  • ...
  • ...
  • ...

Relevant Screenshots/Gifs

  • Refrain from using phrases like "Hi, I am ..", "Please merge me this PR", "Thank You..", etc. We are only interested in technical parts.

  • Attach a screenshot/clip of the change(s).

  • Please be patient enough. The project maintainers/mentors would review it as per their schedule. Please do not start putting comments like "Please check this" etc.

  • Not every PR would be merged directly. In majority of the scenarios, we would be offering some additional suggestions which are to be incorporated in the same PR with a squash commit.

  • Look out for possible merge conflicts. Please add comments required, this makes your code readable.

  • Make sensible variable names. For example, card1 is quite ambiguous but education_card implies what that variable is declared for.

  • Although we support feedback from everyone in all phases of development, it is highly advised not to put any negative comments in other participant's pull requests.

  • Always keep a note of the deadline.

9. Voila ❗ You have made a PR to the Face Mask Detection 💥 . Sit back patiently and relax while the project maintainers review your PR. Please understand at times the time can vary from a few hours to a few days.
