First off, thank you for considering contributing to Docsaid. It's people like you that make Docsaid such a great tool.
If you've noticed a bug or have a feature request, make sure to check our Issues to see if someone else in the community has already created a ticket. If not, go ahead and make one!
If this is something you think you can fix, then fork the repository and create a branch with a descriptive name.
A good branch name would be (where issue #325 is the ticket you're working on):
git checkout -b feature/325-add-japanese-localizationMake sure you're able to run the test suite. If you're having trouble getting it running, please create an issue and we'll help get you started.
At this point, you're ready to make your changes! Feel free to ask for help; everyone is a beginner at first.
At this point, you should switch back to your main branch and make sure it's up to date with Docsaid's main branch:
git remote add upstream git@github.com:original/docsaidlab.git
git checkout main
git pull upstream mainThen update your feature branch from your local copy of main and push it!
git checkout feature/325-add-japanese-localization
git rebase main
git push --set-upstream origin feature/325-add-japanese-localizationGo to the Docsaid repository and you should see recently pushed branches.
Choose your branch and create a new Pull Request. Once you've created the Pull Request, maintainers will review your changes.
If a maintainer asks you to "rebase" your PR, they're saying that a lot of code has changed, and that you need to update your branch so it's easier to merge.
A PR can only be merged into main by a maintainer if:
- It is passing CI.
- It has been approved by at least two maintainers. If it was a maintainer who opened the PR, only one extra approval is needed.
- It has no requested changes.
- It is up to date with current main.
Any maintainer is allowed to merge a PR if all of these conditions are met.
Your time and effort are greatly appreciated. Thank you for contributing to Docsaid!
