How to Contribute

We're always looking for people to help make Sonarr even better, there are a number of ways to contribute. To get started, sign the Contributor License Agreement.

Documentation

Setup guides, FAQ, the more information we have on the wiki the better.

Development

Tools required

  • Visual Studio 2013
  • HTML/Javascript editor of choice (Sublime Text/Webstorm/etc)
  • npm (node package manager)
  • git

Getting started

  1. Fork Sonarr
  2. Clone (develop branch) you may need pull in submodules separately if you client doesn't clone them automatically (CurlSharp)
  3. Run npm install
  4. Run gulp watch - Used to compile the UI components and copy them (leave this window open)
  5. Compile in Visual Studio

Contributing Code

  • If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please comment on Github Issues so work is not duplicated (If you want to add something not already on there, please talk to us first)
  • Rebase from Sonarr's develop branch, don't merge
  • 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 forums or on IRC if you have any questions
  • Add tests (unit/integration)
  • Commit with *nix line endings for consistency (We checkout Windows and commit *nix)
  • One feature/bug fix per pull request to keep things clean and easy to understand
  • Use 4 spaces instead of tabs, this is the default for VS 2012 and WebStorm (to my knowledge)

Pull Requesting

  • Only make pull requests to develop, never master, if you make a PR to master we'll comment on it and close it
  • 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
  • Each PR should come from its own feature branch 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)

If you have any questions about any of this, please let us know.
