# Contributing to Gogs
|
|
|
|
Want to hack on Gogs? Awesome! Here are instructions to get you
|
|
started. They are probably not perfect, please let us know if anything
|
|
feels wrong or incomplete.
|
|
|
|
## Contribution guidelines
|
|
|
|
### Pull requests are always welcome
|
|
|
|
We are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to
|
|
process them as fast as possible. Not sure if that typo is worth a pull
|
|
request? Do it! We will appreciate it.
|
|
|
|
If your pull request is not accepted on the first try, don't be
|
|
discouraged! If there's a problem with the implementation, hopefully you
|
|
received feedback on what to improve.
|
|
|
|
We're trying very hard to keep Gogs lean and focused. We don't want it
|
|
to do everything for everybody. This means that we might decide against
|
|
incorporating a new feature.
|
|
|
|
### Discuss your design on the mailing list
|
|
|
|
We recommend discussing your plans [on the mailing
|
|
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gogits)
|
|
before starting to code - especially for more ambitious contributions.
|
|
This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right
|
|
direction, give feedback on your design, and maybe point out if someone
|
|
else is working on the same thing.
|
|
|
|
We may close your pull request if not first discussed on the mailing
|
|
list. We aren't doing this to be jerks. We are doing this to prevent
|
|
people from spending large amounts of time on changes that may need
|
|
to be designed or architected in a specific way, or may not align with
|
|
the vision of the project.
|
|
|
|
### Create issues...
|
|
|
|
Any significant improvement should be documented as [a GitHub
|
|
issue](https://github.com/gogits/gogs/issues) before anybody
|
|
starts working on it.
|
|
|
|
### ...but check for existing issues first!
|
|
|
|
Please take a moment to check that an issue doesn't already exist
|
|
documenting your bug report or improvement proposal. If it does, it
|
|
never hurts to add a quick "+1" or "I have this problem too". This will
|
|
help prioritize the most common problems and requests. |
