Swiper loves to welcome your contributions. There are several ways to help out:
- Create an issue on GitHub, if you have found a bug
- Write test cases or provide examples for open bug issues
- Write patches for open bug/feature issues
There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow so that we have a chance of keeping on top of things.
- Make sure you have a GitHub account.
- Submit an issue, assuming one does not already exist.
- Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
- Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
- Fork the repository on GitHub.
- Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
- This is usually the master branch.
- Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
- To quickly create a topic branch based on master;
git branch main/my_contribution main
then checkout the new branch withgit checkout main/my_contribution
. Better avoid working directly on themaster
branch, to avoid conflicts if you pull in updates from origin.
- Make commits of logical units.
- Check for unnecessary whitespace with
git diff --check
before committing. - Use descriptive commit messages and reference the #issue number.
- Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
- Submit a pull request to the repository
The project uses .editorconfig to define the coding style of each file. We recommend that you install the Editor Config extension for your preferred IDE.
