Progress – Technical Introduction to Open Source

Step by Step Guide – Being Open Source Citizents

  1. Check for existing pull requests and issues. This can be tricky.
  2. Check out the CONTRIBUTE.md for how to contribute.
  3. If it's a larger change, check with maintainers before you do any work. Start the discussion early.
  4. Make sure tests run before implementing.
  5. If code: Match code style.
  6. If bug fix: Write test first - make it fail.
  7. Clean up commits (rebase).
    1. If you're doing more changes than one, have separate Pull Requests.
    2. Match commit naming style (imperative? declarative? past? present?)
  8. Make a good description of what and why.
  9. Take part in the discussion afterwords. Be polite. Be patient.
  10. Keep your Pull Request on latest upstream.
