Contributing to Iris

This document describes contributing guidelines for the Iris project.

You're encouraged to read this document before your first contribution to Iris. Spending your time familiarising yourself with these guidelines is much appreciated because following this guide ensures the most positive outcome for contributors and maintainers! 馃挅

How to contribute

Everyone is welcome to contribute as long as they follow our rules for polite and respectful communication!

And you can contribute to Iris in multiple ways:

  1. Share your success stories or confusion moments in Discussions.
  2. Open Issues with bug reports or feature suggestions.
  3. Open Pull Requests (PRs) with documentation improvements, changes to the code or even implementation of desired changes!

If you would like to open a PR, create the issue first if it doesn't exist. Discussing implementation details or various architecture decisions avoids spending time inefficiently.

You may argue that sometimes it's easier to share your vision with exact code changes via a PR. Still, it's better to start a Discussion or an Issue first by mentioning that you'll open a PR later with your thoughts laid out in code.

If you want to take an existing issue, please, share your intention to work on something in the comment section under the corresponding issue. This avoids the situation when multiple people are working on the same problem concurrently.

Pull Requests requirements

Generally, the process of submitting, reviewing and accepting PRs should be as lightweight as possible if you've discussed the implementation beforehand. However, there're still a few requirements:

  1. Code changes should follow the Kowainik Haskell Style Guide. Your changes may be rejected if they don't follow this style guide. General rule: don't change the formatting of already existing files.
  2. Be polite and respectful in communications. Follow our Code of Conduct.

That's all so far!

鈩癸笍 NOTE: PRs are merged to the main branch using the "Squash and merge" button. You can produce granular commit history to make the review easier or if it's your preferred workflow. But all commits will be squashed when merged to main.

Write access to the repository

If you want to gain write access to the repository, open a discussion with the Commit Bits category and mention your willingness to have it.

I (@chshersh) grant write access to everyone who contributed to Iris.
