## Contributing

|
|
Welcome to The Lounge, it's great to have you here! We thank you in advance for
|
|
your contributions.
|
|
|
|
### I want to report a bug
|
|
|
|
- Look at the [open and closed
|
|
issues](https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues?q=is%3Aissue) to see if
|
|
this was not already discussed before. If you can't see any, feel free to
|
|
[open a new issue](https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues/new).
|
|
|
|
### I want to contribute to the code
|
|
|
|
- Make sure to discuss your ideas with the community in an
|
|
[issue](https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues) or on the IRC channel.
|
|
- Take a look at the open issues labeled as [`up for grabs`](https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/issues?q=is%3Aopen%20is%3Aissue%20label%3A%22up%20for%20grabs%22)
|
|
if you want to help without having a specific idea in mind.
|
|
- Make sure that your PRs do not contain unnecessary commits or merge commits.
|
|
[Squash commits](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rewriting-History)
|
|
whenever possible.
|
|
- [Rebase](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Rebasing) (instead of
|
|
merge) outdated PRs on the `master` branch.
|
|
- Give extra care to your commit messages. Use the [imperative present
|
|
tense](https://git-scm.com/book/ch5-2.html#Commit-Guidelines) and [follow Tim
|
|
Pope's guidelines](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html).
|
|
- Each PR will be reviewed by at least two different project maintainers. You
|
|
can read more about this in the [maintainers'
|
|
corner](https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/wiki/Maintainers'-corner).
|
|
- Please document any relevant changes in the documentation that can be found
|
|
[in its own repository](https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge.github.io).
