How to contribute

WebDevStudios loves third-party contributions. Whether it is fixing a typo, or translating the entire plugin into a new language, no contribution is too small or insignificant. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute changes to our plugin. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we have a chance of keeping on top of things.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account.
  • Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
    • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
    • Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
  • Fork the repository on GitHub.

Making Changes

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the branch for the next major release.
    • To quickly create a topic branch based on the next major version: git checkout -b fix/master/my_contribution master. Please avoid working directly on the master branch.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
  • Make sure your commit messages are informative of what was fixed and why it was needed.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the repository from WebDevStudios.
  • WebDevStudios will review the changes and post any questions or concerns we have. If no issues are present, we will accept and merge in the pull request.
  • If feedback has been given, we appreciate response to the feedback as soon as possible. Delay in response will lead to delay in acceptance of changes.
