Contributing

If you discover issues, have ideas for improvements or new features, please open an issue or submit a pull request.

Make sure to follow the following guidelines when doing so.

Issue Reporting

  • Check that the issue has not already been reported.
  • Check that the issue has not already been fixed in the latest changes (a.k.a. main).
  • Be clear, concise and precise in your description of the problem.
  • Open an issue with a descriptive title and a summary in grammatically correct, complete sentences.

Pull Requests

  • Read how to properly contribute to open source projects on GitHub.
  • Fork the project.
  • Use a topic/feature branch so you're able to make additional changes later, if necessary.
  • Write good commit messages.
  • Use the same coding conventions as the rest of the project.
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
  • Make sure to add tests for it. So we can avoid that it breaks accidentially in the future.
  • Add an entry to the Changelog accordingly. See changelog entry format.
  • Open a pull request that relates to only one subject with a clear title and description in grammatically correct, complete sentences.

Changelog Entry Format

Here are a few examples:

- [#19](https://github.com/alexocode/ex_union/pull/42): Fix the annoying thing ([@AmazingGitHubUser])
- [#16](https://github.com/alexocode/ex_union/pull/1337): Add caching to GitHub Actions ([@alexocode])
  • Mark it up in Markdown syntax.
  • The entry line should start with - (a dash and a space).
  • Begin with a link to your pull request ([#456](https://github.com/alexocode/ex_union/pull/456): )
  • Describe the core idea of the change.
  • If this is a breaking change, mark it with **(Breaking)**.
  • At the end of the entry, add an implicit link to your GitHub user page as ([@username]).
  • If this is your first contribution to ExUnion, add a link definition for the implicit link to the bottom of the changelog as [@username]: https://github.com/username.
