Found a bug ?

If you found a bug in the source code you can help us by submitting an issue or even a Pull Request to our GitHub Repository.

Got a new idea ?

Any new feature propositions are always appreciated. Ideas are what keep this project working. The first step is to open an issue and describe your proposal so that it can be discussed. If you changes are small you can directlty proposed a Pull Request that will be reviewed before being merged.

Coding Guidelines

  • Any code changes must include some unit tests that cover the new functionality or the bugfix.
  • Frequently rebase your works to ease the Pull Request merging.

Commit Message Guidelines

Each commit message consists of a header, a body and a footer. The header has a special format that includes a type, a scope and a subject:

<type>(<scope>): <subject>
<BLANK LINE>
<body>
<BLANK LINE>
<footer>

Type

Must be one of the following:

  • build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies
  • ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts
  • docs: Documentation only changes
  • feat: A new feature
  • fix: A bug fix
  • perf: A code change that improves performance
  • refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
  • style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
  • test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests

The subject contains a succinct description of the change:

  • don't capitalize the first letter
