How to contribute to var_masterpiece

#Contributing This is meant to be a rather complete documentation covering everything from github to chrome extensions. If you already know how to make a PR (or anything else talked about here) feel free to skip that section :)

##Github In github the way to contribute is a Pull Request (PR). Basically, you provide me with a branch of code that you want me to integrate. I'll look over it, make sure it is good, and then merge it into the mainstream.

There are plenty of documents about how to use git, but in short this is what you need to do.

• git clone https://github.com/Rece/var_dump.git - clone my repo
• git pull origin master - make sure that your code is up to date with my master branch
• git checkout -b <YOUR_BRANCH_NAME> - create a new branch for your changes
• ...make changes to files...
• test your changes (see below)
• git diff . - make sure you only changed the things you wanted to change
• git add . - have git watch those changes
• git commit -m - add those changes to your branch
• git push origin <YOUR_BRANCH_NAME> - push your branch to github
• Log into github, go the the repo https://github.com/Rece/var_dump
• click Pull Requests
• click New Pull Request, and choose your new branch.

##Testing a chrome extension It is actually pretty easy to test out a chrome extension.

1. Disable your currently active var_masterpiece. Go to chrome://extensions and un-select enable on var_masterpiece (we don't want the test version fighting with the real version)
2. Click load unpacked extension
3. Select the var_masterpiece_extension folder from your file system.
4. When you make changes, all you have to do is click reload
