Contributing

Welcome to The Lounge, it's great to have you here! We thank you in advance for your contributions.

I have a question

• Find us on the Freenode channel #thelounge. You might not get an answer right away, but this channel is full of nice people who will be happy to help you.

I want to report a bug

• Look at the open and closed issues to see if this was not already discussed before. If you can't see any, feel free to open a new issue.

I want to contribute to the code

• Make sure to discuss your ideas with the community in an issue or on the IRC channel.
• Take a look at the open issues labeled as help wanted 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 whenever possible.
• Rebase (instead of merge) outdated PRs on the master branch.
• Give extra care to your commit messages. Use the imperative present tense and follow Tim Pope's guidelines.
• Each PR will be reviewed by at least two different project maintainers. You can read more about this in the maintainers' corner.
• Please document any relevant changes in the documentation that can be found in its own repository.
