# Contributing to the UnderStrap Project We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's: - Reporting a bug - Discussing the current state of the code - Submitting a fix - Proposing new features - Becoming a maintainer ## We Develop with Github We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests. ## We Use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html), So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html)). We actively welcome your pull requests: 1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `master`. 2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests. 3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation. 4. Ensure the test suite passes. 5. Make sure your code lints. 6. Issue that pull request! ## Any contributions you make will be under the GNU GPL version 2 In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same [GNU GPL version 2](https://opensource.org/licenses/GPL-2.0) that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern. ## Report bugs using Github's [issues](https://github.com/understrap/understrap/issues) We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by [opening a new issue](https://github.com/understrap/understrap/issues/new) - it's that easy! ## Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code [This is an example](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12488905/180626) of a bug report I wrote, and I think it's not a bad model. Here's [another example from Craig Hockenberry](http://www.openradar.me/11905408), an app developer whom I greatly respect. **Great Bug Reports** tend to have: - A quick summary and/or background - Steps to reproduce - Be specific! - Give sample code if you can. - What you expected would happen - What actually happens - Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work) People *love* thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding. ## Use a Consistent Coding Style * Stick to the [WordPress Coding Standards](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/coding-standards/) * Use [./.editorconfig](https://github.com/understrap/understrap/blob/master/.editorconfig) if your editor supports it ## License By contributing, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under GNU GPL version 2. ## References This document was adapted from the open-source contribution guidelines for [Facebook's Draft](https://github.com/facebook/draft-js/blob/a9316a723f9e918afde44dea68b5f9f39b7d9b00/CONTRIBUTING.md)
