### Contributing Code ###
2017-05-06 14:44:46 +00:00
- If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please comment on [Github Issues](https://github.com/lidarr/Lidarr/issues "Github Issues") so work is not duplicated (If you want to add something not already on there, please talk to us first)
- Rebase from Lidarr's develop branch, don't merge
2014-01-27 22:10:37 +00:00
- Make meaningful commits, or squash them
- Feel free to make a pull request before work is complete, this will let us see where its at and make comments/suggest improvements
- Reach out to us on the discord if you have any questions
2014-01-27 22:10:37 +00:00
- Add tests (unit/integration)
- Commit with *nix line endings for consistency (We checkout Windows and commit *nix)
2014-11-03 16:21:19 +00:00
- One feature/bug fix per pull request to keep things clean and easy to understand
2020-09-07 01:47:08 +00:00
- Use 4 spaces instead of tabs, this is the default for VS 2019 and WebStorm (to my knowledge)
2014-01-27 22:10:37 +00:00
### Pull Requesting ###
2015-02-21 05:14:18 +00:00
- Only make pull requests to develop, never master, if you make a PR to master we'll comment on it and close it
2014-01-27 22:10:37 +00:00
- You're probably going to get some comments or questions from us, they will be to ensure consistency and maintainability
- We'll try to respond to pull requests as soon as possible, if its been a day or two, please reach out to us, we may have missed it
2015-02-21 05:14:18 +00:00
- Each PR should come from its own [feature branch](http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FeatureBranch.html) not develop in your fork, it should have a meaningful branch name (what is being added/fixed)
- new-feature (Good)
- fix-bug (Good)
- patch (Bad)
- develop (Bad)
