Contributing to Algorithms and Data Structures

We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

  • Reporting a bug
  • Discussing the current state of the code
  • Submitting a fix
  • Proposing new features
  • Becoming a maintainer

Steps to contribute

  • Comment on the issue you want to work on. Make sure it's not assigned to someone else.

  • If you think an algorithm is missing, create an issue.

Making a PR

  • Make sure you have been assigned the issue to which you are making a PR.
  • If you make PR before being assigned, It will be labeled invalid and closed without merging.
  • Fork the repo and clone it on your machine.
  • Add a upstream link to main branch in your cloned repo 
    git remote add upstream https://github.com/codeperfectplus/AlgorithmsAndDataStructure.git
  • Keep your cloned repo upto date by pulling from upstream (this will also avoid any merge conflicts while committing new changes) 
    git pull upstream master
  • Create your feature branch 
    git checkout -b <feature-name>
  • Commit all the changes 
    git commit -am "Meaningful commit message"
  • Push the changes for review 
    git push origin <branch-name>
  • Create a PR from our repo on Github.

Additional Notes

  • Code should be properly commented to ensure it's readability.
  • If you've added code that should be tested, add tests as comments.
  • In python use docstrings to provide tests.
  • Make sure your code properly formatted.
  • Issue that pull request!

Issue suggestions/Bug reporting

When you are creating an issue, make sure it's not already present. Furthermore, provide a proper description of the changes. If you are suggesting any code improvements, provide through details about the improvements.

Great Issue suggestions tend to have:

  • A quick summary of the changes.
  • In case of any bug provide steps to reproduce
    • Be specific!
    • Give sample code if you can.
    • What you expected would happen
    • What actually happens
    • Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)
