Reporting issues

Reporting issues are a great way to contribute to the project. We are perpetually grateful about a well-written, thorough bug report.

Before raising a new issue, check our issue list to determine if it already contains the problem that you are facing.

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you for more information. Please be as detailed as possible. The following questions might serve as a template for writing a detailed report:

  • What were you trying to achieve?
  • What are the expected results?
  • What are the received results?
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
  • In what environment did you encounter the issue?

Pull requests

Good pull requests (e.g. patches, improvements, new features) are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid unrelated commits.

Please ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing new features, refactoring code etc.), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the maintainers might not want to merge into the project.

Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout the project.

If your cloned repository is behind the upstream commits, then get the latest changes from upstrem:

git checkout main
git pull --rebase upstream main

Create a new topic branch from main using the naming convention MG-[issue-number] to help us keep track of your contribution scope:

git checkout -b MG-[issue-number]
