How to contribute

Third-party patches are essential for keeping Tseesecake great. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.

We love pull requests from everyone. By participating in this project, you agree to abide by the thoughtbot code of conduct.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account (It's free!)
  • Read the documentation.
  • Search in the issues if your problem hasn't already be submitted.
  • Submit an issue (assuming one does not already exist).
    • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
    • Specify the version on which this bug has been found.
  • Fork the repository on GitHub

Making Changes

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the master branch.
    • Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
    • To quickly create a topic branch based on main; git checkout -b feature/my_contribution main. Please avoid working directly on the main branch.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Make sure your commit messages are explicit.
  • Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
  • If possible, run all the tests (for all .NET versions supported) to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
  • Check the status of your build on appVeyor.
  • If something is broken, try to fix it.

Making Trivial Changes

Documentation

For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not necessary to create an issue. In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a commit with '(doc)'.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the repository Tseesecake (Seddryck/Tseesecake).
  • Update your issue to mark that you have submitted code and are ready for it to be reviewed. Include a link to the pull request in the ticket.
  • At this point, you're waiting on us. We like to, at least, comment on pull requests within a few business days. We may suggest some changes or improvements or alternatives.

Some things that will increase the chance that

Your issue will be quickly answered:

  • Write a good description of your problem in the issue ticket
    • If you've a problem using Tseesecake, post your test (not a screen capture) and explain what you're trying to achieve. Don't forget to post the error (full stack) that you're receiving!
    • If you'd like to suggest a feature, explain why you think it will be valuable and suggest a syntax.

Your pull request is accepted:

  • Link your pull request to an issue that is well documented.
  • Write unit tests.
  • Write the user documentation.
