Welcome to Riffy contributing guide

Read our Code of Conduct to keep our community approachable and respectable.

In this guide you will get an overview of the contribution workflow from opening an issue, creating a PR, reviewing, and merging the PR.

New contributor guide

To get an overview of the project, read the README. Here are some resources to help you get started with open source contributions:

• Finding ways to contribute to open source on GitHub
• Set up Git
• GitHub flow
• Collaborating with pull requests

Getting started

Contributions which are adding to the codebase are way more appreciated. Contributions which are not even changing a single line of code will not be appreciated.

Issues

Create a new issue

If you spot a problem while using the package, create an Issue about it. You should also share all the relevant details, so we can rectify the problem as soon as possible.

Solve an issue

Scan through our Existing Isssues to find one that interests you. You can narrow down the search using labels as filters. As a general rule, we don’t assign issues to anyone. If you find an issue to work on, you are welcome to open a PR with a fix.

Make Changes

Make changes locally

1. Fork the repository.

• Using GitHub Desktop:

  • Getting started with GitHub Desktop will guide you through setting up Desktop.
  • Once Desktop is set up, you can use it to fork the repo!

• Using the command line:

  • Fork the repo so that you can make your changes without affecting the original project until you're ready to merge them.

2. Install or update to Node.js, at the version specified in .node-version. For more information, see the development guide.

3. Create a working branch and start with your changes!

Commit your update

Commit the changes once you are happy with them. Don't forget to self-review to speed up the review process:zap:.

Pull Request

When you're finished with the changes, create a pull request, also known as a PR.

• Fill the "Ready for review" template so that we can review your PR. This template helps reviewers understand your changes as well as the purpose of your pull request.
• Don't forget to link PR to issue if you are solving one.
• Enable the checkbox to allow maintainer edits so the branch can be updated for a merge. Once you submit your PR, our team members will review your proposal. We may ask questions or request additional information.
• We may ask for changes to be made before a PR can be merged, either using suggested changes or pull request comments. You can apply suggested changes directly through the UI. You can make any other changes in your fork, then commit them to your branch.
• As you update your PR and apply changes, mark each conversation as resolved.
• If you run into any merge issues, checkout this git tutorial to help you resolve merge conflicts and other issues.

Your PR is merged!

Congratulations 🎉🎉 The Riffy team thanks you ✨.

Once your PR is merged, your contributions will be publicly visible on the repo.
