Contributing to Limnoria as a developer

Note

This page is still a draft and is not complete.

About the policy about repository access

For the moment, I decided to give write access to my repository to nobody, because I want to check everything that is pushed in it. If someone pushes a bad update, it may be dangerous for users and I do not want that.

On the other side, I am very open to pull requests, that's to say, if you ask me to merge some changes you made, there are 99% changes I will merge this changes. That's why I suggest you to fork my repository on GitHub, make your modifications, and click the "Pull requests" button in my repository.

Using Git

If you are a developer, I assume that you know how to use Git. If you don't, I suggest you to learn how to use it, at least the basics (clone, checkout, branch, commit, push/pull, add/rm, log, show, reset, revert).

I learnt how to use Git with an ebook, also available as a real book: Pro Git.

Our prefered way of contributing is through GitHub pull requests to Limnoria's repository. Please send your pull requests to the testing branch.

Code style
