Contributing

We love pull requests from everyone. By participating in this project, you agree to abide by our code of conduct.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account.
  • Open an issue to simply ask a question or request a new feature.
  • Search for similar issues with the ERROR MESSAGE you are exeriencing.
  • If one doesn't exist, open a new issue
    • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
    • Include the earliest version of mas that you know has the issue.
    • Include your macOS version.

Making Changes

  • Fork the repository on GitHub.
  • Cone your fork
    git clone [email protected]:your-username/mas.git
  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the master branch.
    • To quickly create a topic branch based on master, run
      git checkout -b awesome-feature master
    • Please avoid working directly on the master branch.
    • Make commits of logical units.
  • Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
    • Note that two trailing spaces is intentional in markdown documents to create a line break like <br>, so these should not be removed.
  • Push your topic branch to your fork and submit a pull request.

Some things that will increase the chance that your pull request is accepted:

  • Write tests. (Tests target is still in progress)
    • If you need help with tests, feel free to open a PR in the meantime and just ask for some help.
    • Add "[WIP]" to the title of your PR to indicate that it's not ready to be merged.
  • Follow our style guide.
  • Write a good commit message.

Becoming a Contributor

Once you have had a few PRs accepted, if you are interested in joining the @mas-cli/contributors team to help with the issue/PR backlog and even release new versions of this project, open a new issue titled "Add Contributor: @YourGitHubUsername", with a brief message asking to join the team.

This project was created by @argon, who is unable to continue contributing to this project, but must remain an owner. By becoming a contributor, you agree to the terms in #47.

Branching and Releases

  • This project follows trunk-based development, where master is our trunk.
  • Release commits will be tagged in the format: v1.2.3.
  • Once releases are tagged, high-level release notes are published on the releases page.

See GitHub's post on creating Contributing Guidelines if you would like to set up something like this for your projects.
