Contribution Guidelines

We welcome patches to GOV.UK elements, as long as you follow these guidelines:

Indentation and whitespace

2-space, soft-tabs only. No trailing whitespace.

Versioning

Follow the guidelines on semver.org for assigning version numbers.

Versions should only be changed in a commit of their own, in a pull request of their own. This alerts team members to the new version and allows for last-minute scrutiny before the new version is released. Also, by raising a separate pull request, we avoid version number conflicts between feature branches.

Commit hygiene

Please see our git style guide which describes how we prefer git history and commit messages to read.

Code

The code in GOV.UK elements is built on top of the GOV.UK template and the GOV.UK front end toolkit.

If you find an issue with GOV.UK elements, please raise an issue via this repository.

If you want to suggest changes or raise bugs on code from the toolkit, please do so through its repository, not this one.

Design

There is a Hackpad for Design Patterns for GOV.UK services.
