Contributing

When bringing people on as contributors we prefer that they start with an issue tagged good first issue. After a contributor has shown they're a good fit and have completed 1 or 2 issues labeled good first issue with pull requests that have been accepted feel free of moving on to other issues. We're thrilled to see new contributors.

If you want to better understand how does the development process works, please refer to our wiki pages

Setup

In order to get the repositories setup before contributions refer to the README.md file.

Contribution Steps

  1. Find a suitable issue

    If this is your first time look for an issue labeled good first issue otherwise look for issues labeled help wanted . If another issue jumps out at you please engage on the issue before starting it.

  2. Assign yourself the issue

    Let us know you're working on it! We hate wasted labour so it's always helpful to know what our community contributors are working on.

  3. Fork and clone DAppNode

    In general it's a good practice to fork into your own repository. We prefer if issues are addressed in a branch with the issue number in it's name. i.e. 29_this_is_an_issue

  4. Make contributions

    Make all the changes needed to address the given issue.

  5. Add testing

    In general we aim for full test coverage. For this reason most issues completed should include full testing. If you think there should be an exception for your issue please reach out.

  6. Run previous tests

    Make sure that the changes that you've made don't break anything! Ensure that running npm test and npm eslint doesn't throw any new and unexpected errors.

  7. Push all your work

    At this point the issue should be addressed, new testing should be in place, and all old tests should be passing.

  8. Create a Pull Request

    At this point you should either have a forked repository with your issue fixes and it is time to put in a PR. Make sure that your PR has something like addresses #26 or closes #26 The most important thing is that it has the relevant issue number referenced in the body of the PR.

  9. Make noise!

    Get in our Riot and point to your new PR. Let us know you've tackled your first, third or 90th issue with us. We'll review it and everybody will get a warm feeling of accomplishment.

  10. rinse, repeat

    Find another issue, get more involved, make noise in our Riot, or find issues we may have missed. You've completed your first step to becoming a contributor. You're helping to Decentralize the FUTURE!

If you still have any further questions about contribution feel free to reach out to @eduadiez:matrix.org, @yalormewn:matrix.org, @liondapp:matrix.org, or just make noise in the #DAppNode channel on Riot.
