Contribute Changes Workflow
This workflow describes how anyone can contribute changes to Docear. If you have ideas for how to improve the workflow, please discuss it on the developer mailing list.
Before developing a solution, first find the related issue or create one.
An issue describes a bug or feature and channels discussions. All development should be related to issues to allow the discussions. Assign yourself to an issue if you plan to work on it.
Develop and test solutions to an issue in a fork (can be a personal fork).
Reference issues in commit messages and help close issues via commit messages.
Make sure to document code. It helps others understand the logic.
To get changes into the master branch of Docear, create a pull-request with changes.
Pull-requests are a great way to engage docear developers in a discussion and request feedback. Feel free to create a pull request with as little as an idea and initial implementation. If someone suggests a change before accepting a pull-request, that is a good sign.
