Pull Requests

Please keep in mind that:

Pull-Requests point to the master branch
You need to cover your code and feature by tests
You may add documentation in the /docs directory to explain your choices if needed
We recommend to use [task lists][checkbox] to explain steps / features in your Pull-Request description
You do not need to build app to submit a PR

Workflow

Pull requests are the primary mechanism we use to change Cozy. GitHub itself has some great documentation on using the Pull Request feature. We use the fork and pull model described there.

clone the repository with git clone
add a remote to your profile with git remote add fork
create a new branch for the work with git checkout --branch my-branch origin/master
add some changes with git add --patch .
create at least one commit with git commit --message '{fix,feat,chore,test,doc}: a 70 character long description of the changes'
check styleguide, formating, linting and tests
push to your remote with git push fork my-branch
create a Pull-Request with a detailed description

Writing documentation

Documentation improvements are very welcome. We try to keep a good documentation in the /docs folder. But, you know, we are developers, we can forget to document important stuff that look obvious to us. And documentation can always be improved.

Community

You can help us by making our community even more vibrant. For example, you can write a blog post, take some videos, answer the questions on the forum, organize new meetups, and speak about what you like in Cozy!
