Contributing

Contributions are more than welcome. If you want to make a contribution, please make sure you go through the following steps:

1. Pick or create an issue. It's always a good idea to leave a message saying that you're going to work on it before you start any actual work.
2. Fork the repository and work there.
3. Open a Pull Request pointing to develop branch.
4. A maintainer will review and, eventually, merge your Pull Request. Please, be patient as most of us are doing this in our spare time.

If you're a maintainer, take it from here:

1. Merge Pull Request into develop.
2. Make sure your local develop and master branches are up to date.
3. Switch to develop branch.
4. Whenever you think it makes sense, make a release:
   1. From develop branch, run: git flow release start X.X.X.
   2. In release branch, update version in package.json and package-lock.json.
   3. In release branch, run: git flow release finish X.X.X.
   4. You should now be in develop branch. Run: git push --tags && git checkout master && git push.
5. Release to NPM should happen automatically. You can check status at https://travis-ci.org/asyncapi/asyncapi.
