Creating a pull request

» Home » Development » Creating a pull request

If you want to add a feature (or fix a bug) in RPKit, first create an issue detailing the feature/problem. This step is included to avoid wasting your time if it's something that is out of scope for the project.

Once you have a comment from somebody with push access, fork the repository, and create a branch with your issue number (something like RPKit-300 would correspond to #300)

Make your changes on your branch, then make a pull request to the develop branch (not main, as this branch always holds the latest stable release).

In some cases you may be contributing bugfixes to an older release branch - in this case you want to target the earliest release you want the bugfix included in (for example, if you wanted a 1.5.x release, you would target the release/v1.5 branch).

Once your pull request is merged, you can either use snapshot versions by building yourself, or wait patiently until the next release.
