Contributing to Finit
=====================
We welcome any and all help in the form of bug reports, fixes, patches
for new features -- *preferably as GitHub pull requests*. Other methods
are of course also possible: emailing the maintainer a patch or even a
raw file, or simply emailing a feature request or an alert of a problem.
For email questions/requests/alerts there is always the risk of memory
exhaustion on the part of the maintainer(s).
If you are unsure of what to do, or how to implement an idea or bugfix,
open an issue with `"[RFC: Unsure if this is a bug ... ?"`, or similar,
so we can discuss it. Talking about the code first is the best way to
get started before submitting a pull request.
Either way, when sending an email, patch, or pull request, start by
stating the version the change is made against, what it does, and why.
Please take care to ensure you follow the project coding style and the
commit message format. If you follow these recommendations you help
the maintainer(s) and make it easier for them to include your code.
Coding Style
------------
> **Tip:** Always submit code that follows the style of surrounding code!
First of all, lines are allowed to be longer than 72 characters these
days. In fact, there exist no enforced maximum, but keeping it around
100 chars is OK.
The coding style itself is strictly Linux [KNF][].
Commit Messages
---------------
Commit messages exist to track *why* a change was made. Try to be as
clear and concise as possible in your commit messages, and always, be
proud of your work and set up a proper GIT identity for your commits:
git config --global user.name "Jane Doe"
git config --global user.email jane.doe@example.com
Example commit message from the [Pro Git][gitbook] online book, notice
how `git commit -s` is used to automatically add a `Signed-off-by`:
Brief, but clear and concise summary of changes
More detailed explanatory text, if necessary. Wrap it to about 72
characters or so. In some contexts, the first line is treated as
the subject of an email and the rest of the text as the body. The
blank line separating the ummary from the body is critical (unless
you omit the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if
you run the two together.
Further paragraphs come after blank lines.
- Bullet points are okay, too
- Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded
by a single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions
vary here
