Contributing

Hi there! We're thrilled that you'd like to contribute to this project. Your help is essential for keeping it great.

Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of Conduct. By participating in this project you agree to abide by its terms.

Issues and PRs

If you have suggestions for how this project could be improved, or want to report a bug, open an issue! We'd love all and any contributions. If you have questions, too, we'd love to hear them.

We'd also love PRs. If you're thinking of a large PR, we advise opening up an issue first to talk about it, though! Look at the links below if you're not sure how to open a PR.

Submitting a pull request

First time contributors

We should encourage first time contributors. A good inspiration on this can be found here. As pointed out:

If you are an OSS project owner, then consider marking a few open issues with the label first-timers-only. The first-timers-only label explicitly announces:

"I'm willing to hold your hand so you can make your first PR. This issue is rather a bit easier than normal. And anyone who’s already contributed to open source isn’t allowed to touch this one!"

By labeling issues with this first-timers-only label we help first time contributors step up their game and start contributing.

Pull request step-by-step guide

Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.

Please ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code, porting to a different language), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the project's developers might not want to merge into the project.

Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project (indentation, accurate comments, etc.) and any other requirements (such as test coverage).

Follow this process if you'd like your work considered for inclusion in the project:

  1. Fork the project, clone your fork, and configure the remotes:

    # Clone your fork of the repo into the current directory
git clone [email protected]:SvanBoxel/delete-merged-branch.git
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
cd delete-merged-branch
# Assign the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream [email protected]:SvanBoxel/delete-merged-branch.git

  2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:

    git checkout <dev-branch>
git pull upstream <dev-branch>

  3. Create a new topic branch (off the master branch) to contain your feature, change, or fix:

    git checkout -b <issue-number>-<topic-branch-name>

    We recommend having an issue for every improvement you make. Please prepend your branch name with the issue number. eg. issue #381 related to a failing head image: 381-fix-header-image

  4. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these AngularJS Git Commit Message Conventions or your code is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use Git's interactive rebase feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.

  5. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:

    git pull [--rebase] upstream <dev-branch>

  6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:

    git push origin <topic-branch-name>

  7. Open a Pull Request with a clear title and description.

Conventions of commit messages

Adding features on repo

git commit -m "feat: message about this feature"

Fixing features on repo

IMPORTANT: By submitting a patch, you agree to allow the project owner to license your work under the same license as that used by the project.
