Contributing

Contributing to Ansible-NAS is easy! Add your functionality, then raise a pull request on GitHub. A few things to bear in mind:

Development Environment

• Development of Ansible-NAS is carried out in Visual Studio Code on Linux - you'll get some nice recommended extensions and task setups if you do the same.
• You'll need a working Python 3 environment, Docker (to run tests) and pre-commit installed - pip install -r requirements-dev.txt.

General Stuff

• Restrict pull requests to one piece of functionality or bugfix at a time.
• Ensure that your changes aren't going to break the GitHub builds. You can run the Pre-commit checks manually (it's not yet configured to run on every commit) using the VSCode task.
• Ensure that your PR only changes files required for your functionality or bugfix. Random changes in other files will result in your PR being rejected.
• Don't mess with line endings, or change spaces for tabs. They're fine how they are.
• Please know that your efforts are appreciated, thanks! 👍

Adding a new application

So you want to add a new application. Great!

• Start by looking at the hello_world example. Following this structure is the most likely way of getting your PR approved. Leaving out things the hello_world example includes (ie docs, tests) will definitely result in your PR being rejected.
• Add to the list of Available Applications in README.md
