Contribution Flow

This is a rough outline of what a contributor's workflow looks like:

  • Make a fork of the repository within your GitHub account
  • Create a topic branch in your fork from where you want to base your work
  • Make commits of logical units
  • Make sure your commit messages are with the proper format, quality and descriptiveness (see below)
  • Push your changes to the topic branch in your fork
  • Create a pull request containing that commit

We follow the GitHub workflow and you can find more details on the GitHub flow documentation.
