Contributing
############
Help is always appreciated!
To get started, you can try :ref:`building-from-source` in order to familiarize
yourself with the components of Solidity and the build process. Also, it may be
useful to become well-versed at writing smart-contracts in Solidity.
In particular, we need help in the following areas:
* Improving the documentation
* Responding to questions from other users on `StackExchange
<http://ethereum.stackexchange.com/>`_ and the `Solidity Gitter
<https://gitter.im/ethereum/solidity>`_
* Fixing and responding to `Solidity's GitHub issues
<https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/issues>`_
How to Report Issues
====================
To report an issue, please use the
`GitHub issues tracker <https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/issues>`_. When
reporting issues, please mention the following details:
* Which version of Solidity you are using
* What was the source code (if applicable)
* Which platform are you running on
* How to reproduce the issue
* What was the result of the issue
* What the expected behaviour is
Reducing the source code that caused the issue to a bare minimum is always
very helpful and sometimes even clarifies a misunderstanding.
Workflow for Pull Requests
==========================
In order to contribute, please fork off of the ``develop`` branch and make your
changes there. Your commit messages should detail *why* you made your change
in addition to *what* you did (unless it is a tiny change).
If you need to pull in any changes from ``develop`` after making your fork (for
example, to resolve potential merge conflicts), please avoid using ``git merge``
and instead, ``git rebase`` your branch.
Additionally, if you are writing a new feature, please ensure you write appropriate
Boost test cases and place them under ``test/``.
However, if you are making a larger change, please consult with the Gitter
channel, first.
Finally, please make sure you respect the `coding standards
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/develop/CodingStandards.txt>`_
for this project. Also, even though we do CI testing, please test your code and
ensure that it builds locally before submitting a pull request.
Thank you for your help!
