These are guidelines for contributing to the Python package statmechcrack
.
Contributors can open issues or create pull requests.
Contributors can open new issues on the GitHub repository here. An issue can either report an existing bug, or request a new feature. Contributors should ensure that their candidate issue does not match an existing open issue before opening it. If a closely-related but incomplete open issue exists, contributors should comment on the existing open issue.
A new bug report can be opened here.
A new feature request can be opened here. Feature requests that are deemed feasible will be considered by the developers, and could even be addressed by a contributor through a pull request. Feature requests that are deemed infeasible will likely be denied.
Contributors can propose changes to the code in the repository by creating a pull request as follows:
-
Fork the base repository by clicking the
fork
button here. -
Clone the forked repository, make changes, and push them back to the fork.
-
Create a pull request between the base and forked repositories here.
-
Wait for the pull request to be either approved or dismissed. Approval and subsequent merging of pull requests is contingent upon:
- The tests are all passing, resulting in a high (desirably, complete) code coverage, and any changes are properly tested.
- The documentation is successfully built, and any changes are properly documented.
- The changes provide an appropriate and substantial improvement to the repository.
