How to Contribute

GitHub flow

We generally follow the GitHub flow in our project. In a nutshell, this requires the following steps to contribute:

  1. Fork the repository (only required if you don't have write access to the repository).
  2. Create a feature branch.
  3. Make changes and create a commit
  4. Push your changes to GitHub and create a pull request (PR); note that we enforce a particular style for the PR titles, see below.
  5. Wait for maintainers to review your changes and, if necessary, revise your PR.
  6. When all requirements are met, a reviewer or the PR author (if they have write permissions) can merge the PR.

Commit messages

To ensure a consistent Git history (from which we can later easily generate changelogs automatically), we always squash commits when merging a PR and enforce that all PR titles comply with the conventional-commit format. For examples, please take a look at our commit history.

Pre-commit hooks

We have CI jobs running for every PR to test and lint the repository. You can install Git pre-commit hooks to ensure that these check pass even before pushing your changes to GitHub. To use this, the following steps are required:

  1. Install Rust.
  2. Install pre-commit using pip or your OS's package manager.
  3. Run pre-commit install in the repository.

After this setup, the code will be checked, reformatted, and tested whenever you create a Git commit.

You can also use a custom pre-commit configuration if you wish:

  1. Create a file .custom-pre-commit-config.yaml (this is set to be ignored by Git).

Signed commits

We appreciate it if you configure Git to sign your commits.
