Contributing Guidelines

Branches

• master is the branch with the most current release on CRAN.
• staging is the development branch before being pushed to CRAN.

Making Changes

• Avoid working on the master branch.
• Create a branch of staging and create a pull request against staging when you are ready.
• Indentation: two spaces, no tabs.
• Use TRUE and FALSE, not T and F.
• formatR can help with cleaning up your code, after change default tab width to 2.
• Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
