General Contribution Guidelines
Whether you’re contributing code, documentation, or other content, these principles apply:- Fork the repository - Always work in your own fork before submitting changes
- Use PRs for changes - Pull requests are preferred, especially for small changes like typos
- Work in branches - Use feature branches, not master/main, for ongoing work
- Submit regularly - For non-trivial work, submit PRs regularly to get feedback
- Quality matters - Double-check your work before submission
- Be objective - Remain fact-based and neutral in tone
PR Best Practices
For effective contributions:- Create meaningful PRs with clear descriptions
- For works in progress, use “WIP” in the title
- Request appropriate reviewers (check CODEOWNERS when unsure)
- Explain dependencies and breaking changes
- Include relevant tests and documentation updates
