CONTRIBUTING to McFly

Hi, and thanks for your interest to contribute to McFly! 🎉

This is the best place to start if you want to contribute to the project. You can do so by any of the following:

1. Report issues or request features
2. Participate in discussions
3. Contribute code
4. Get in touch

Report issues or request features

To open issues or feature requests, see our issue tracker. You can also send them via email to ~ayoayco/mcfly@todo.sr.ht.

Participate in discussions

To open new or participate on existing discussions, see our mcfly-discussions mailing list.

Contribute Code

We use git and email here -- it is actually fun!

To get started, setup git send-email.

After setting up git send-email you can now follow the steps below to start hacking:

1️⃣ Clone the repository to your local machine, then go into the project directory:

$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~ayoayco/mcfly
$ cd mcfly

2️⃣ Create a new branch for your changes:

git checkout -b my-branch

3️⃣ Make your changes, and then commit them with a descriptive message using conventional commits:

git commit -m "feat(core): implement server-side rendering"

4️⃣ Use git send-email to send a patch:

git send-email --to="~ayoayco/mcfly-patches@lists.sr.ht" HEAD^

The HEAD^ bit is a reference to the latest commit, which will be added to your patch. This could be a range of commits as well if you have mutiple commits.

5️⃣ Wait for a response from us whether the patch needs rework... or a notification if it gets merged!

As a summary, we use git and email to collaborate on McFly. You have to set up git send-email and send patches via email. :)

Get in touch
