New to GitHub?

Getting ready to make your first contribution? Here are a couple of tutorials you may wish to check out:

How to contribute code

  • Fork the repository
  • Clone the repository from GitHub to your computer e.g,. git clone https://github.com/ropensci/weathercan.git
  • Make sure to track progress upstream (i.e., on our version of weathercan at ropensci/weathercan)
    • git remote add upstream https://github.com/ropensci/weathercan.git
    • Before making changes make sure to pull changes in from upstream with git pull upstream
  • Make your changes
    • For changes beyond minor typos, add an item to NEWS.md describing the changes and add yourself to the DESCRIPTION file as a contributor
  • Push to your GitHub account
  • Submit a pull request to home base (main branch) at ropensci/weathercan

Code formatting

  • In general follow the convention of http://r-pkgs.had.co.nz/r.html#style (snake_case functions and argument names, etc.)
  • Where there is conflict, default to the style of weathercan
  • Use explicit package imports (i.e. package_name::package_function) and avoid @import if at all possible
