- Fork the project and clone the fork to your machine.
- Create a feature branch to work in.
$ git checkout -b name-of-feature
- Use the project's coding style, not your own. If the code you write looks drastically different than the preexisting code, you're doing it wrong.
- Include tests that fail without your code, and pass with it.
- If you add a new feature or break backwards compatibility, update the project's documentation accordingly.
- Commits should have meaningful messages. If you end up with a bunch of commits with garbage messages, squash your commits before submitting a pull request.
- Push your feature branch to your remote repo on GitHub.
$ git push origin name-of-feature - Create a pull request against the *-wip branch if present, otherwise master.
- Write a meaningful title and description.
- Submit the pull request!
