Contributing to Say

So you want to contribute to luassert? Fantastic! Here's a brief overview on how best to do so.

What to change

Here's some examples of things you might want to make a pull request for:

  • New features
  • Bugfixes
  • Inefficient blocks of code

If you have a more deeply-rooted problem with how the program is built or some of the stylistic decisions made in the code, it's best to create an issue before putting the effort into a pull request. The same goes for new features - it might be best to check the project's direction, existing pull requests, and currently open and closed issues first.

Style

  • Two spaces, not tabs
  • Variables have_underscores, classes are Uppercase
  • Wrap everything in local, expose blocks of code using the module pattern

Look at existing code to get a good feel for the patterns we use.

Using Git appropriately

  1. Fork the repository to your Github account.
  2. Create a topical branch - a branch whose name is succint but explains what you're doing, such as "klingon-translations"
  3. Make your changes, committing at logical breaks.
  4. Push your branch to your personal account
  5. Create a pull request
  6. Watch for comments or acceptance

Please note - if you want to change multiple things that don't depend on each other, make sure you check the master branch back out before making more changes - that way we can take in each change separately.
