# Contributing to Sage

Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution
process easy and effective for everyone involved.

Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of
the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return,
they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue or assessing
patches and features.


## Using the issue tracker

The issue tracker is the preferred channel for [bug reports](#bugs),
[features requests](#features) and [submitting pull
requests](#pull-requests), but please respect the following restrictions:

* Please **do not** use the issue tracker for personal support requests (use the
[Roots Discourse](http://discourse.roots.io/)).

* Please **do not** derail or troll issues. Keep the discussion on topic and
respect the opinions of others.

## Bug reports

A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the repository.
Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!

Guidelines for bug reports:

1. **Use the GitHub issue search** &mdash; check if the issue has already been
reported.

2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** &mdash; try to reproduce it using the
latest `master` or development branch in the repository.

3. **Isolate the problem to Sage** &mdash; make sure that the code in the Sage
repository is _definitely_ responsible for the issue. Switch to a core WordPress
theme (such as Twenty Thirteen) to confirm problems before reporting an issue.
Make sure you have reproduced the bug with all plugins disabled. Any issues
related to HTML5 Boilerplate or Bootstrap should be reported to their respected
repositories and follow their contributing guidelines.

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more
information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report.


<a name="features"></a>
## Feature requests

Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea
fits with the scope and aims of Sage. It's up to *you* to make a strong
case to convince the Roots developers of the merits of this feature. Please
provide as much detail and context as possible.


<a name="pull-requests"></a>
## Pull requests

Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic
help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated
commits.

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

Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout the project (indentation,
comments, etc.).

Adhering to the following this process is the best way to get your work
included in Sage:

1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/) Sage, clone your fork,
and configure the remotes:

```bash
# Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<repo-name>
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd <repo-name>
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/<upsteam-owner>/<repo-name>
```

2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:

```bash
git checkout <dev-branch>
git pull upstream <dev-branch>
```

3. Create a new topic branch (off the main project development branch) to
contain your feature, change, or fix:

```bash
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
```

4. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these [git commit
message guidelines](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html)
or your code is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use Git's
[interactive rebase](https://help.github.com/articles/interactive-rebase)
feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.
5. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
```bash
git pull [--rebase] upstream <dev-branch>
```
6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:
```bash
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
```
10. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/)
with a clear title and description.
Please read [Contributing to Roots Projects](https://github.com/roots/guidelines/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
