Contributions are always welcome. Before contributing please read the
code of conduct and search the issue tracker; your issue may have already been discussed or fixed in main
. To contribute,
fork this repository, commit your changes, and send a Pull Request.
Note that our code of conduct applies to all platforms and venues related to this project; please follow it in all your interactions with the project and its participants.
Feature requests should be submitted in the Issue tracker, with a description of the expected behavior & use case, where they’ll remain closed until sufficient interest, e.g. 👍 reactions, has been shown by the community. Before submitting an Issue, please search for similar ones in the closed issues.
- Ensure any install or build dependencies are removed before the end of the layer when doing a build.
- Increase the version numbers in any examples files and the README.md to the new version that this Pull Request would represent. The versioning scheme we use is SemVer.
- You may merge the Pull Request in once you have the sign-off of two other developers, or if you do not have permission to do that, you may request the second reviewer to merge it for you.
The develop
and main
branches have "Branch Protection" enabled in Github. In order to merge a pull request into develop
, you must have (at least) one approval.
You can review full Branch Protection details here, and check out a visual representation of the workflow below:
