Contributing

If you have any ideas/updates/things you find useful, please fork, commit your changes, and open up a PR (you'll need to select "compare across forks").

If you don't know how to use Git but still want to contribute, the Pencil Edit icon allows you to edit a file and submit a PR all through the web interface. Alternatively, open up an issue. Another option would be to check out our Git Resources.

I will not merge any PR with compiled lists of female engineers (mentor lists, etc.), because this is a publicly accessible repository and there's no way to both keep the list open to people who need the list AND out of the hands of Bad Actors.

Style Guide

I like keeping lines at 80 characters max. The frequent exception will be lines that have to contain long URL's.

Note that each bullet-pointed link has two trailing spaces, to induce a line break in Markdown.

For new files, let's use Train-Case (capitalize each word, separate words with hyphens). Example: New-File.md

Please no tab characters; they sometimes format as Code Blocks. Please use 2 space characters. We have an ~/.editorconfig to keep our many text editors on the same page.

Note that links to headings need to include all words in the heading, separated by dashes. The letters in the words need to be lowercase. Example, link to the On Commit Message heading:
[WhaTEveR yOu want the LINK to say!](#on-commit-messages).

On Commit Messages

Please write descriptive commit messages. A message that says "Added some topic to some file" is far more useful to the maintainers and other contributors than leaving the default "Update Some-File-Name" message.

Code of Conduct

We use and enforce the Contributor Covenant, v1.4. To report violations, email aliceyoung.9@gmail.com, the maintainer.
