Contributing
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All kinds of contributions to Mons are greatly appreciated. For someone
|
||
|
|
unfamiliar with the code base, the most efficient way to contribute is usually
|
||
|
|
to submit a [feature request](#feature-requests) or [bug report](#bug-reports).
|
||
|
|
If you want to dive into the source code, you can submit a [patch](#patches) as
|
||
|
|
well, either working on your own ideas or [existing issues][issues].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Feature Requests
|
||
|
|
----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do you have an idea for an awesome new feature for Mons? Please [submit a
|
||
|
|
feature request][issue]. It's great to hear about new ideas.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are inclined to do so, you're welcome to [fork][fork] Mons, work on
|
||
|
|
implementing the feature yourself, and submit a patch. In this case, it's
|
||
|
|
*highly recommended* that you first [open an issue][issue] describing your
|
||
|
|
enhancement to get early feedback on the new feature that you are implementing.
|
||
|
|
This will help avoid wasted efforts and ensure that your work is incorporated
|
||
|
|
into the code base.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug Reports
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Did something go wrong with Mons? Sorry about that! Bug reports are greatly
|
||
|
|
appreciated!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you [submit a bug report][issue], please include relevant information such
|
||
|
|
as Mons version, operating system, configuration file, error messages, and
|
||
|
|
steps to reproduce the bug. The more details you can include, the easier it is
|
||
|
|
to find and fix the bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Patches
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If there are [open issues][issues], you're more than welcome to work on those -
|
||
|
|
this is probably the best way to contribute to Mons. If you have your own
|
||
|
|
ideas, that's great too! In that case, before working on substantial changes to
|
||
|
|
the code base, it is *highly recommended* that you first [open an issue][issue]
|
||
|
|
describing what you intend to work on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Patches are generally submitted as pull requests.** Patches are also
|
||
|
|
[accepted over email][email].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The version history should be clean, and commit messages should be descriptive
|
||
|
|
and [properly formatted][commit-messages].
