Correction + +**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed +unprofessional or unwelcome in the community. + +**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing +clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the +behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested. + +### 2. Warning + +**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of +actions. + +**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No +interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with +those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This +includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels +like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent +ban. + +### 3. Temporary Ban + +**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including +sustained inappropriate behavior. + +**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public +communication with the community for a specified period of time.

These are mostly guidelines, not rules. Use your best judgment, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request. + +### Table Of Contents + +- [Code of Conduct](#book-code-of-conduct) +- [Asking Questions](#bulb-asking-questions) +- [Opening an Issue](#inbox_tray-opening-an-issue) +- [Feature Requests](#love_letter-feature-requests) +- [Triaging Issues](#mag-triaging-issues) +- [Submitting Pull Requests](#repeat-submitting-pull-requests) +- [Writing Commit Messages](#memo-writing-commit-messages) +- [Code Review](#white_check_mark-code-review) +- [Coding Style](#nail_care-coding-style) +- [Certificate of Origin](#medal_sports-certificate-of-origin) +- [Credits](#pray-credits) + +## :book: Code of Conduct + +Please review our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). It is in effect at all times. We expect it to be honored by everyone who contributes to this project. Be a Good Human! + +## :bulb: Asking Questions + +> **Note:** Please don't file an issue to ask a question. We have an official forum where the community chimes in with helpful advice if you have questions. + +* [ThrowTheSwitch Forums](https://throwtheswitch.org/forums) + +### What should I know before I get started? + +ThrowTheSwitch hosts a number of open source projects — Ceedling is the entrypoint for many users. Ceedling is actually built upon the foundation of Unity Test (a flexible C testing framework) and CMock (a mocking tool for C) and it coordinates many other open source and proprietary tools. Please do your best to focus your ideas and questions at the correct tool. We'll do our best to help you find your way, but there will be times where we'll have to direct your attention to another subtool. + +Here are some of the main projects hosted by ThrowTheSwitch.org: + + - [Ceedling](https://www.github.com/throwtheswitch/ceedling) -- Build coordinator for testing C applications, especially embedded C (and optionally your release build too!) + - [CMock](https://www.github.com/throwtheswitch/cmock) -- Mocking tool for automatically creating stubs, mocks, and skeletons in C + - [Unity](https://www.github.com/throwtheswitch/unity) -- Unit Testing framework for C, specially embedded C. + - [MadScienceLabDocker](https://www.github.com/throwtheswitch/madsciencelabdocker) -- Docker image giving you a shortcut to getting running with Ceedling + - [CException](https://www.github.com/throwtheswitch/cexception) -- An exception framework for using simple exceptions in C. + +There are many more, but this list should be a good starting point. + +## :inbox_tray: Opening an Issue + +Before [creating an issue](https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-your-work-on-github/creating-an-issue), check if you are using the latest version of the project. If you are not up-to-date, see if updating fixes your issue first. + +### :beetle: Bug Reports and Other Issues + +A great way to contribute to the project is to send a detailed issue when you encounter a problem. We always appreciate a well-written, thorough bug report. :v: + +In short, since you are most likely a developer, **provide a ticket that you would like to receive**. + +- **Review the documentation** before opening a new issue. + +- **Do not open a duplicate issue!** Search through existing issues to see if your issue has previously been reported. If your issue exists, comment with any additional information you have. You may simply note "I have this problem too", which helps prioritize the most common problems and requests. + +- **Prefer using [reactions](https://github.blog/2016-03-10-add-reactions-to-pull-requests-issues-and-comments/)**, not comments, if you simply want to "+1" an existing issue. + +- **Fully complete the provided issue template.** The bug report template requests all the information we need to quickly and efficiently address your issue. Be clear, concise, and descriptive. Provide as much information as you can, including steps to reproduce, stack traces, compiler errors, library versions, OS versions, and screenshots (if applicable). + +- **Use [GitHub-flavored Markdown](https://help.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax).** Especially put code blocks and console outputs in backticks (```). This improves readability. + +## :seedling: Feature Requests + +Feature requests are welcome! We don't have all the answers and we truly love the collaborative experience of building software together! That being said, we cannot guarantee your request will be accepted. We want to avoid [feature creep](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_creep). Your idea may be great, but also out-of-scope for the project. If accepted, we'll do our best to tackle it in a timely manner, but cannot make any commitments regarding the timeline for implementation and release. However, you are welcome to submit a pull request to help! + +- **Please don't open a duplicate feature request.** Search for existing feature requests first. If you find your feature (or one very similar) previously requested, comment on that issue. + +- **Fully complete the provided issue template.** The feature request template asks for all necessary information for us to begin a productive conversation. + +- Be precise about the proposed outcome of the feature and how it relates to existing features. Include implementation details if possible. + +## :mag: Triaging Issues + +You can triage issues which may include reproducing bug reports or asking for additional information, such as version numbers or reproduction instructions. Any help you can provide to quickly resolve an issue is very much appreciated! + +## :repeat: Submitting Pull Requests + +We **love** pull requests! Before [forking the repo](https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo) and [creating a pull request](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests) for non-trivial changes, it is usually best to first open an issue to discuss the changes, or discuss your intended approach for solving the problem in the comments for an existing issue. + +For most contributions, after your first pull request is accepted and merged, you will be [invited to the project](https://help.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-user-account/inviting-collaborators-to-a-personal-repository) and given **push access**. :tada: + +*Note: All contributions will be licensed under the project's license.* + +- **Smaller is better.** Submit **one** pull request per bug fix or feature. A pull request should contain isolated changes pertaining to a single bug fix or feature implementation. **Do not** refactor or reformat code that is unrelated to your change. It is better to **submit many small pull requests** rather than a single large one. Enormous pull requests will take enormous amounts of time to review, or may be rejected altogether. + +- **Coordinate bigger changes.** For large and non-trivial changes, open an issue to discuss a strategy with the maintainers. Otherwise, you risk doing a lot of work for nothing! + +- **Prioritize understanding over cleverness.** Write code clearly and concisely. Remember that source code usually gets written once and read often. Ensure the code is clear to the reader. The purpose and logic should be obvious to a reasonably skilled developer, otherwise you should add a comment that explains it. + +- **Follow existing coding style and conventions.** Keep your code consistent with the style, formatting, and conventions in the rest of the code base. When possible, these will be enforced with a linter. Consistency makes it easier to review and modify in the future. + +- **Include test coverage.** Add unit tests when possible. Follow existing patterns for implementing tests. + +- **Update the example project** if one exists to exercise any new functionality you have added. + +- **Add documentation.** Document your changes with code doc comments or in existing guides. + +- **Update the CHANGELOG** for all enhancements and bug fixes. Include the corresponding issue number if one exists, and your GitHub username. (example: "- Fixed crash in profile view. #123 @jessesquires") + +- **Use the repo's default branch.** Branch from and [submit your pull request](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork) to the repo's default branch. Usually this is `main`, but it could be `dev`, `develop`, or `master`. + +- **[Resolve any merge conflicts](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/resolving-a-merge-conflict-on-github)** that occur. + +- **Promptly address any CI failures**. If your pull request fails to build or pass tests, please push another commit to fix it. + +- When writing comments, use properly constructed sentences, including punctuation. + +- Use spaces, not tabs. + +## :memo: Writing Commit Messages + +Please [write a great commit message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/). + +1. Separate subject from body with a blank line +1. Limit the subject line to 50 characters +1. Capitalize the subject line +1. Do not end the subject line with a period +1. Wrap the body at _about_ 72 characters +1. Use the body to explain **why**, *not what and how* (the code shows that!) +1. If applicable, prefix the title with the relevant component name or emoji (see below. examples: "[Docs] Fix typo", "[Profile] Fix missing avatar") + +``` +:palm_tree: Summary of Amazing Feature Here + +Add a more detailed explanation here, if necessary. Possibly give +some background about the issue being fixed, etc. The body of the +commit message can be several paragraphs. Further paragraphs come +after blank lines and please do proper word-wrap. + +Wrap it to about 72 characters or so. In some contexts, +the first line is treated as the subject of the commit and the +rest of the text as the body. The blank line separating the summary +from the body is critical (unless you omit the body entirely); +various tools like `log`, `shortlog` and `rebase` can get confused +if you run the two together. + +Explain the problem that this commit is solving. Focus on why you +are making this change as opposed to how or what. The code explains +how or what. Reviewers and your future self can read the patch, +but might not understand why a particular solution was implemented. +Are there side effects or other unintuitive consequences of this +change? Here's the place to explain them. + + - Bullet points are awesome, too + + - A hyphen should be used for the bullet, preceded + by a single space, with blank lines in between + +Note the fixed or relevant GitHub issues at the end: + +Resolves: #123 +See also: #456, #789 +``` + +## :heart: Who Loves Emoji? + +Commit comments, Issues, Feature Requests... they can all use a little sprucing up, right? Consider using the following emoji for a mix of function and :sparkles: dazzle! + + - actions + - :seedling: `:seedling:` (or other plants) when growing new features. Choose your fav! :cactus: :herb: :evergreen_tree: :palm_tree: :deciduous_tree: :blossom: + - :art: `:art:` when improving the format/structure of the code + - :racehorse: `:racehorse:` when improving performance + - :non-potable_water: `:non-potable_water:` when plugging memory leaks + - :memo: `:memo:` when writing docs + - :bug: `:bug:` (or other insects) when fixing a bug.

Provide actionable feedback and explain your reasoning. + +- **You are not your code.** When your code is critiqued, questioned, or constructively criticized, remember that you are not your code. Do not take code review personally. + +- **Always do your best.** No one writes bugs on purpose. Do your best, and learn from your mistakes. + +- Kindly note any violations to the guidelines specified in this document. + +## :violin: Coding Style + +Consistency is the most important. Following the existing style, formatting, and naming conventions of the file you are modifying and of the overall project. Failure to do so will result in a prolonged review process that has to focus on updating the superficial aspects of your code, rather than improving its functionality and performance. + +For example, if all private properties are prefixed with an underscore `_`, then new ones you add should be prefixed in the same way. Or, if methods are named using camelcase, like `thisIsMyNewMethod`, then do not diverge from that by writing `this_is_my_new_method`. You get the idea. If in doubt, please ask or search the codebase for something similar. + +When possible, style and format will be enforced with a linter. + +### C Styleguide + +C code is linted with [AStyle](https://astyle.sourceforge.net/). + +### Ruby Styleguide + +Ruby code is linted with [Rubocop](https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop) + +## :medal_sports: Certificate of Origin + +*Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1* + +By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: + +> 1.
