|
|
|
|
## Submitting Pull Requests
|
|
|
|
### Getting started
|
|
|
|
You should be familiar with the basics of
|
|
[contributing on GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) and have a fork
|
|
[properly set up](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Contribution-Technical-Practices).
|
|
|
|
You MUST always create PRs with _a dedicated branch_ based on the latest upstream tree.
|
|
|
|
If you create your own PR, please make sure you do it right. Also be so kind as to reference
|
|
any issue that would be solved in the PR description body,
|
|
[for instance](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/)
|
|
_"Fixes #XXXX"_ for issue number XXXX.
|
|
|
|
### You have a solution
|
|
|
|
Please be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke) for any open issue already covering
|
|
your [problem](#you-have-a-problem), and any pending/merged/rejected PR covering your solution.
|
|
|
|
If the solution is already reported, try it out and +1 the pull request if the
|
|
solution works ok. On the other hand, if you think your solution is better, post
|
|
it with a reference to the other one so we can have both solutions to compare.
|
|
|
|
If not, then go ahead and submit a PR. Please copy to anyone relevant (e.g. plugin
|
|
maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle (starting with `@`) in your message.
|
|
|
|
### You have an addition
|
|
|
|
Please [do not](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Themes#dont-send-us-your-theme-for-now)
|
|
send themes for now.
|
|
|
|
Please be so kind as to [search](#use-the-search-luke) for any pending, merged or rejected Pull Requests
|
|
covering or related to what you want to add.
|
|
|
|
If you find one, try it out and work with the author on a common solution.
|
|
|
|
If not, then go ahead and submit a PR. Please copy to anyone relevant (_eg_ plugin
|
|
maintainers) by mentioning their GitHub handle (starting with `@`) in your message.
|
|
|
|
For any extensive change, _eg_ a new plugin, you will have to find testers to +1 your PR.

## Use the Search, Luke
|
|
|
|
_May the Force (of past experiences) be with you_
|
|
|
|
GitHub offers [many search features](https://help.github.com/articles/searching-github/)
|
|
to help you check whether a similar contribution to yours already exists. Please search
|
|
before making any contribution, it avoids duplicates and eases maintenance. Trust me,
|
|
that works 90% of the time.
|
|
|
|
You can also take a look at the [FAQ](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/FAQ)
|
|
to be sure your contribution has not already come up.
|
|
|
|
If all fails, your thing has probably not been reported yet, so you can go ahead
|
|
and [create an issue](#reporting-issues) or [submit a PR](#submitting-pull-requests).
|
|

### You have spare time to volunteer
|
|
|
|
Very nice!! :)
|
|
|
|
Please have a look at the [Volunteer](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Volunteers)
|
|
page for instructions on where to start and more.
