Contributing to DeepLynx

We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

  • Reporting a bug
  • Discussing the current state of the code
  • Submitting a fix
  • Proposing new features
  • Becoming a maintainer

We Develop with GitHub and Gitlab

We use GitHub/Gitlab to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.

All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the code-base. We actively welcome your pull requests:

  1. Fork the repository and create your branch from development.
  2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
  3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
  4. Ensure the test suite passes.
  5. Make sure your code lints.
  6. Issue that pull request!
  7. Once approved, it may be merged into development and later into master.

Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License

In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.

Report bugs using GitLab's issues

We use GitHub or Gitlab issues to track public bugs.

Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code

This is an example of a bug report. Here's another example from Craig Hockenberry.

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

  • A quick summary and/or background
  • Steps to reproduce
    • Be specific!
    • Give sample code if you can. This stackoverflow question includes sample code that anyone with a base R setup can run to reproduce what the author was seeing
  • What you expected would happen
  • What actually happens
  • Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work)

Use a Consistent Coding Style

Please ensure that you use ESLint, with the including configuration, when contributing to the project. Please maintain naming schemes and structure throughout the project.
