First of all, thank you for being interested in contributing! You rock!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this document, you will find some guidelines for contributing to
|
||||||
|
~eshell-info-banner.el~. These are more guidelines than rules, so don’t
|
||||||
|
try too hard to follow them.

* How Can I Contribute?
|
||||||
|
** Submitting Bugs and Errors
|
||||||
|
The easiest way to contribute is to the project is if you encounter a
|
||||||
|
bug or an error. If you encounter one, check whether there is an issue
|
||||||
|
already opened. If not, you can open one! Try to provide as much
|
||||||
|
information as possible:
|
||||||
|
- Are you running the latest version of the package?
|
||||||
|
- Which version of Emacs are you running? On what system?
|
||||||
|
- What is your configuration for this package?
|
||||||
|
- What is the error message? Do you have a debug trace for the error?
|
||||||
|
- Can you reproduce it consistently? If so, how?
|
||||||
|
- What would the expected behavior be?
|
||||||
|
As you are collecting these pieces of information, try to come up with
|
||||||
|
a short and clear issue title –it should describe quickly your issue
|
||||||
|
without being too vague (e.g. avoid stuff like “error when opening
|
||||||
|
Eshell” or “doesn’t work”).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Submitting New Code
|
||||||
|
If you are submitting new code through a pull request, make sure of
|
||||||
|
the following:
|
||||||
|
- Your code doesn’t do something already implemented in the package
|
||||||
|
- Your code follows the Emacs Lisp style guide presented [[https://github.com/bbatsov/emacs-lisp-style-guide][here]] as best
|
||||||
|
as you can
|
||||||
|
- All new functions and variables declared through ~defvar~, ~defcustom~,
|
||||||
|
and ~defconst~ have docstrings
|
||||||
|
- If you introduced new dependencies in your code, you also added them
|
||||||
|
to the list of dependencies in the file’s headers
|
||||||
|
- And obviously, your code works (I include that because I myself
|
||||||
|
sometimes push commits that don’t work)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Git Commit Messages
|
||||||
|
Your commits should also follow [[https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.org#commit-messages][Spacemacs’ guidelines]] on this matter,
|
||||||
|
especially:
|
||||||
|
- Lines no longer than 72 characters
|
||||||
|
- Explain what you did
|
||||||
|
- Use the imperative in your summary
|
||||||
|
- Use present tense and imperative for what your commit changes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
*** Describing the Pull Request
|
||||||
|
When opening a new pull request, check that its title is short and
|
||||||
|
clear as to what it is meant to do. Its description should:
|
||||||
|
- Provide the current behavior of the package, and how it will modify it
|
||||||
|
- If it is linked to an open issue, mention it
|
||||||
|
- If you are submitting an enhancement pull request, describe why this
|
||||||
|
code suggestion would be useful
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
** Finding Something To Do
|
||||||
|
Not sure where to begin? Take a look at the list of open issues,
|
||||||
|
especially the ones with one of the following labels:
|
||||||
|
- [[https://github.com/Phundrak/eshell-info-banner.el/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22][/good first issue/]] :: These issues indicate easy to fix issues and
|
||||||
|
easy to implement enhancements. If you are a beginner or if you want
|
||||||
|
to familiarize yourself with the package, look for these issues.
|
||||||
|
- [[https://github.com/Phundrak/eshell-info-banner.el/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22+sort%3Aupdated-desc][/help wanted/]] :: These issues might require some more work than /good
|
||||||
|
first issue/ issues and might be a bit more interesting.
|
||||||
|
If you want to work on an open issue, leave a comment saying
|
||||||
|
so. However, you can directly submit a pull request if you are simply
|
||||||
|
adding support for a non-standard Linux distribution.

Here are some upcoming changes I hope I’ll make in the future. If you
|
See [[file:CONTRIBUTING.org]].
|
||||||
see a feature still hasn’t been implemented and you wish to implement
|
|
||||||
it, don’t hesitate to contribute and submit a PR!

** Better support for other OSes
|
|
||||||
Displaying the OS name only works on Linux systems that have an
|
|
||||||
~/etc/os-release~ file and ~df~ available in Eshell’s path, or on Windows
|
|
||||||
at least partially —i.e. it will probably not work correctly on macOS
|
|
||||||
and on exotic Linux distributions. This should be fixed someday. (And
|
|
||||||
*BSD maybe?) See [[https://github.com/Phundrak/eshell-info-banner.el/issues/4][this issue]].
