Pull Requests

Looking for an idea? Check our issues. If it's look more open ended, it is probably best to post on the issue how you are thinking of resolving the issue so you can get feedback early in the process. We want you to be successful and it can be discouraging to find out a lot of re-work is needed.

Already have an idea? It might be good to first create an issue to propose it so we can make sure we are aligned and lower the risk of having to re-work some of it and the discouragement that goes along with that.

Process

Before posting a PR, we request that the commit history get cleaned up. However, we recommend avoiding this during the review to make it easier to check how feedback was handled. Once the PR is ready, we'll ask you to clean up the commit history from the review. Once you let us know this is done, we can move forward with merging! If you are uncomfortable with these parts of git, let us know and we can help.

For commit messages, we use Conventional style. If you already wrote your commits and don't feel comfortable changing them, don't worry and go ahead and create your PR. We'll work with you on the best route forward. You can check your branch locally with committed.

As a heads up, we'll be running your PR through the following gauntlet:

  • warnings turned to compile errors
  • cargo test
  • rustfmt
  • clippy
  • rustdoc
  • committed
  • typos

Releasing

Pre-requisites

  • Running cargo login
