3. Contributing Code

⚠️ Read this carefully to prevent your pull request to be closed!

  1. Before you submit any code to the repository please take a look at the development tracker and search for your issue!
    • If an issue exists and someone is working on it, please contact this person.
    • If an issue exists and no one is working on it, assign it to yourself or write a comment.
  2. Always reference the issue ID (e.g. IP-317) in all commits you make for this issue.
  3. Before you create a pull request, rebase from the development branch.
    • Add the development branch as a remote: git remote add ip [email protected]:InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane.git
    • Do a rebase with the following command: git pull --rebase ip development Where ip is the name of the remote and development the branch.
    • Solve all conflicts and check if your code is still working.
  4. Submit the pull request, reference the issue ID in the title and add a meaningful description.
