# Contributing to HedgeDoc
|
|
|
|
HedgeDoc is a volunteer effort.
|
|
We encourage you to pitch in and to help us making this project even better!
|
|
|
|
Please note we have a [code of conduct][code-of-conduct], please respect it in all your
|
|
interactions with the project.
|
|
|
|
## Ways of contributing
|
|
### Do you have questions about the project?
|
|
|
|
* Feel free to post your question on our [community forum][community-forum] or join our [matrix community chat][matrix-support].
|
|
|
|
### Did you find a bug?
|
|
|
|
* **Ensure the bug wasn't already reported** by searching on GitHub under [Issues][issues].
|
|
|
|
* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, [open a new one][new_issue]. Be sure to use one of the templates we provide if your request applies to them.
|
|
|
|
### Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?
|
|
|
|
* Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch. See the section [submitting a pull request](#submitting-a-pull-request) for details on this.
|
|
|
|
* Ensure the PR description is precise about the problem and your solution. Just fill out our template. That should cover the most important information.
|
|
|
|
### Do you intend to add a new feature or change an existing one?
|
|
|
|
* Suggest your idea via a new GitHub issue. After a confirmation about your idea, you can start writing code. Our maintainers and other project developers can provide useful details about the architecture and show you relevant issues and discussions.
|
|
|
|
### Do you want to work on translations?
|
|
|
|
* If you want to improve a translation or add a new translation altogether, we handle those via [POEditor][poeditor].

## Certificate of Origin
|
|
|
|
By contributing to this project you agree to the [Developer Certificate of
|
|
Origin (DCO)](docs/content/legal/developer-certificate-of-origin.txt). This document was created by the Linux Kernel community and is a
|
|
simple statement that you, as a contributor, have the legal right to make the
|
|
contribution.
|
|
The DCO is a legally binding statement, please [read it carefully](docs/content/legal/developer-certificate-of-origin.txt).
|
|
|
|
If you can certify it, then just add a line to every git commit message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Signed-off-by: Jane Doe <jane.doe@example.org>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions).
|
|
|
|
If you set your `user.name` and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
|
|
You can also use git [aliases](https://git-scm.com/book/tr/v2/Git-Basics-Git-Aliases) like `git config --global alias.ci 'commit -s'`.
|
|
Now you can commit with `git ci` and the commit will be signed.
|
|
|
|
## Changelog snippets
|
|
|
|
PRs that fix a bug or add a new feature or enhancement should add a corresponding changelog entry.
|
|
The changelog can be found at `public/docs/release-notes.md`. If there is no section for the next release yet, just add
|
|
one using `## <i class="fa fa-tag"></i> 1.x.x <i class="fa fa-calendar-o"></i> UNRELEASED`. The version and date will
|
|
be filled later by the maintainers.
|
|
Add a short description for your change in the `Features`, `Enhancements` or `Bugfixes` section, creating the section
|
|
if needed. Have a look at previous entries for inspiration.
|
|
You are welcome to add a `(by [@your_username](https://github.com/your_username))` note to your entry.
|
|
|
|
