How to contribute

First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to GuildMUD. These are just guidelines, not rules, so use your best judgement and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.

Code of Conduct

This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant 1.2. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to zach@mudcoders.com.

Getting Started

This codebase is built on top of the barebones SocketMUD codebase. If you are new to the C programming language, or MUDs in general, head on over to MudBytes, /r/MUD, and The MUD Coders Guild to get acquainted (and meet some uncomfortably enthusiastic people in the process).

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account.
  • For issues or feature requests, submit an issue on GitHub (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.

Making Changes

  • Create a feature branch from where you want to base your work.
    • This is usually the develop branch.
    • Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
    • Please avoid working directly on develop branch.
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Make sure your commit messages are clear and concise.
  • Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
  • Run all the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to a feature branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the repository. Be sure to include references to any GitHub issues related to the change.
  • After feedback has been given we expect responses within two weeks. After two weeks the pull request may be closed if it isn't showing any activity.
