Contributing
============
Any form of contribution is appreciated. If you found a bug or have a feature request, please file an
`issue <https://git.jdav-hd.merten.dev/digitales/kompass/issues>`_. If you want to help with the documentation or
want to contribute code, please open a `pull request <https://git.jdav-hd.merten.dev/digitales/kompass/pulls>`_.
.. note::
Please read this page carefully before contributing.
Miscellaneous
-------------
- version control with `git <https://git-scm.com/>`_
- own gitea instance at https://git.jdav-hd.merten.dev/
- protected ``main`` branch
Organization and branches
-------------------------
The stable development happens on the ``main``-branch for which only maintainers have write access. Any pull request
should hence be targeted at ``main``. Regularly, the production instances are updated to the latest ``main`` version,
in particular these are considered to be stable.
If you have standard write access to the repository, feel free to create new branches. To make organization
easier, please follow the branch naming convention: ``<username>/<feature>``.
The ``testing``-branch is deployed on the development instances. No development should happen there, this branch
is regularly reset to the ``main``-branch.
Workflow
--------
- request a gitea account from the project maintainers
- decide on an `issue <https://git.jdav-hd.merten.dev/digitales/kompass/issues>`_ to work on or create a new one
- branch out to an own branch (naming convention: ``<username>/<feature>``) from the ``main``-branch
- work on the issue and commit your changes
- create a pull request from your branch to the ``main``-branch
