Contribution Guidelines

How can you contribute to Crio Open Source in #IBelieveinDoing Hacktoberfest Edition?

In two ways:

  • As a Creator
  • As a Learner

A creator can add a new MicroByte by choosing a topic from here - MicroByte Topics, or can create a topic of their own and choose a respective master repo for the same. Creators must follow the MicroByte Structure as mentioned in the getting started guide.

A learner can help creators improve the MicroBytes by adding new functionality, fixing bugs, enhancing the learning content or adding better references.

There are no restrictions on the roles, any participants can make PRs either as a Creator, a Learner or Both.

Kindly refer the aforementioned getting started guide for detailed instructions.

Note for issue creation and PR proposals

Kindly utilise the templates provided in the .github directory of the main branch to create relative issues and PRs. You can also go adventurous if you have something fun in your mind, but kindly maintain a similar workflow by taking the already available templates as a reference.

For working on a brand new MicroByte, utilise the issue template Add MicroByte using the GitHub UI.

For updating a MicroByte in stock, utilise the issue template Update MicroByte using the GitHub UI.

For proposing a PR with a new MicroByte, utilise PR template adding-microbyte.md using GitHub API.

For proposing a PR with updates to an existing MicroByte, utilise PR template updating-microbyte.md using GitHub API.
