How to contribute

Getting Started

Make sure you have a GitHub account
Create an issue for the bug/feature if doesn't already exist
Fork the rocksmith-custom-song-toolkit repository to your GitHub account
Clone your fork to a local repository on your computer ... save it to ... \My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\rocksmith-custom-song-toolkit ... or anywhere else that you prefer.
Run FixToolkitVersion.bat or open the Visual Studio 2010\Projects\rocksmith-custom-song-toolkit\RocksmithToolkitLib folder then make a copy of the ToolkitVersion.cs_dist file and rename it to ToolkitVersion.cs
Open your local repository folder and double click on "RocksmithCustomSongCreator.sln"
Wait for the repository to load in VS2010 Solution Explorer.
Click on the RocksmithToolkitLib icon then right click and select "Build".
Click on the Solution 'RocksmithCustomSongCreator' (12 projects) icon at the top of the Solution Explorer list.
Right click the icon, select "Properties", change Single startup project to RocksmithToolkitGUI, click "Apply".
Click on "Debug" in the toolbar at the top of VS2010 IDE and select "Start Debugging" or just press "F5".
The RocksmithCustomSongCreator.sln should now build in VS2010. Have fun.

Submitting Changes

For minor changes (single line fixes, typos etc) an issue isn't needed. Only create an issue for more substantial changes.
Push your changes to your fork of the repository.
- Include the issue number somewhere in the first line of the commit message
- While the issue should have details about what you're doing, make your commit message meaningful rather than something like "Fixes #1234"
- A good commit message might be something like Adds support for Drop D tuning (#1234)
Submit a pull request to the rscustom repository.

Code Style

Use spaces for indentation, and Windows line endings, enable unprintable symbols to make sure that you're doing fine.
