Contributing to Transcriptase 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 We use github to host code, to track issues and feature requests, as well as accept pull requests.

We Use Github Flow, So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use Github Flow). We actively welcome your pull requests:

Fork the repo and create your branch from master. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation. Ensure the test suite passes. Make sure your code lints. Issue that pull request! 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 Github's issues We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue; it's that easy!

Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code This is an example of a bug report I wrote, and I think it's not a bad model. Here's another example from Craig Hockenberry, an app developer whom I greatly respect.

Great Bug Reports tend to have:

A quick summary and/or background Steps to reproduce Be specific! Give sample code if you can. My stackoverflow question includes sample code that anyone with a base R setup can run to reproduce what I 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) People love thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.

License By contributing, you agree that your contributions will be licensed under its MIT License.
