Contributing to Model

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Model project! We appreciate contributions via submitting Github issues and/or pull requests.

Below are some guidelines to follow when contributing to this project:

Before opening an issue in Github, check open issues and pull requests for existing issues and fixes.
If your issue has not been addressed, open a Github issue and follow the checklist presented in the issue description section. A simple model DSL that reproduces your issue helps immensely.
If you know how to fix your bug, we highly encourage PR contributions. See How Can I Get Started section on how to submit a PR.
For feature requests and submitting major changes, open an issue or hop onto the Goa slack channel (see https://goa.design to join) to discuss the feature first.
Keep conversations friendly! Constructive criticism goes a long way.
Have fun contributing!

How Can I Get Started?

Read the README carefully as well as details on the C4 model for more information on the C4 model.
To get your hands dirty, fork the model repo and issue PRs from the fork. PRO Tip: Add a git remote to your forked repo in the source code (in $GOPATH/src/goa.design/model when installed using go get) to avoid messing with import paths while testing your fix.
Open issues labeled as good first issue are ideal to understand the source code and make minor contributions. Issues labeled help wanted are bugs/features that are not currently being worked on and contributing to them are most welcome.
Link the issue that the PR intends to solve in the PR description. If an issue does not exist, adding a description in the PR that describes the issue and the fix is recommended.
Ensure the CI build passes when you issue a PR to Goa.
Join our slack channel(the Goa slack channgel, see https://goa.design to join) and participate in the conversations.
