# Contributing Guide
|
|
|
|
You will need:
|
|
|
|
- Node.js/io.js & npm
|
|
- Bower
|
|
- Gulp
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Fork the project
|
|
2. Clone your forked project by running `git clone git@github.com:{
|
|
YOUR_USERNAME }/tether.git`
|
|
3. Run `npm install` to install both node modules and bower components
|
|
4. Test that you can build the source by moving/renaming the existing `dist`
|
|
directory and running `npm run build`
|
|
5. Assuming everything went well, you should now have a `dist` directory that
|
|
matches the one you moved in step 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Writing code!
|
|
|
|
We use `gulp` to facilitate things like transpilation, minification, etc. so
|
|
can you focus on writing relevant code. If there is a fix or feature you would like
|
|
to contribute, we ask that you take the following steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Most of the _editable_ code lives in the `src` directory while built code
|
|
will end up in the `dist` directory upon running `npm run build`.
|
|
|
|
2. Depending on how big your changes are, bump the version numbers appropriately
|
|
in `bower.json` and `package.json`. We try to follow semver, so a good rule
|
|
of thumb for how to bump the version is:
|
|
- A fix to existing code, perform a patch bump e.g. x.x.0 -> x.x.1
|
|
- New feature, perform a minor bump e.g. x.0.x -> x.1.x
|
|
- Breaking changes such a rewrite, perform a major bump e.g.
|
|
1.x.x -> 2.x.x
|
|
|
|
Versioning is hard, so just use good judgement and we'll be more than happy
|
|
to help out.
|
|
|
|
__NOTE__: There is a `gulp` task that will automate some of the versioning.
|
|
You can run `gulp version:{type}` where type is `patch|minor|major` to
|
|
update both `bower.json` and `package.json` as well as add the appropriate
|
|
git tag.
|
|
|
|
3. Provide a thoughtful commit message and push your changes to your fork using
|
|
`git push origin master` (assuming your forked project is using `origin` for
|
|
the remote name and you are on the `master` branch).
|
|
|
|
4. Open a Pull Request on GitHub with a description of your changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
Work in progress. We are hoping to add some tests, so if you would like to help
|
|
us get started, feel free to contact us through the Issues or open a Pull
|
|
Request.
