Thank you for investing your time to come to see how to our project! Any contribution you make will be reflected on hb-back ✨.
Read our Code of Conduct to keep our community approachable and respectable.
In this guide you will get an overview of the contribution workflow from opening an issue, creating a PR, reviewing, and merging the PR.
Use the table of contents icon (TOC) on the top left corner of the this document to get to a specific section of this guide quickly.
To get an overview of the project, read the README. Here are some resources to help you get started with open source contributions:
- Finding ways to contribute to open source on GitHub
- Set up Git
- GitHub flow
- Collaborating with pull requests
If you spot a problem with the help buttons backend, search if an issue already exists. If a related issue doesn't exist, you can open a new issue.
Scan through our existing issues to find one that interests you. You can narrow down the search using labels
as filters.
- Fork the repository.
-
Using GitHub Desktop:
- Getting started with GitHub Desktop will guide you through setting up Desktop.
- Once Desktop is set up, you can use it to fork the repo!
-
Using the command line:
- Fork the repo so that you can make your changes without affecting the original project until you're ready to merge them.
-
GitHub Codespaces:
- Fork, edit, and preview using GitHub Codespaces without having to install and run the project locally.
-
Install or update to Node.js v14.
-
Create a working branch from the dev branch and start with your changes!
Commit the changes once you are happy with them. See Atom's contributing guide to know how to use emoji for commit messages.
Once your changes are ready, don't forget to self-review to speed up the review process:zap:.
When you're finished with the changes, create a pull request, also known as a PR.
- Don't forget to link PR to issue if you are solving one.
- Send a PR always to the develop branch, the develop branch is the branch where we test things. the master branch is where we merge the develop to create a new release, following git workflow.
- Enable the checkbox to allow maintainer edits so the branch can be updated for a merge. Once you submit your PR, a Docs team member will review your proposal. We may ask questions or request for additional information.
- We may ask for changes to be made before a PR can be merged, either using suggested changes or pull request comments. You can apply suggested changes directly through the UI. You can make any other changes in your fork, then commit them to your branch.
- As you update your PR and apply changes, mark each conversation as resolved.
- If you run into any merge issues, checkout this git tutorial to help you resolve merge conflicts and other issues.
Congratulations 🎉🎉 The helpbuttons team thanks you ✨.
Once your PR is merged, your contributions will be publicly visible on the hb-back contributors.
Thanks for contributing!
