Contributing Code

- If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please comment on Github Issues so work is not duplicated (If you want to add something not already on there, please talk to us first) - Rebase from {{{ARRNAME}}}'s develop branch, don't merge - Make meaningful commits, or squash them - Feel free to make a pull request before work is complete, this will let us see where its at and make comments/suggest improvements - Reach out to us on the discord if you have any questions - Add tests (unit/integration) - Commit with *nix line endings for consistency (We checkout Windows and commit *nix) - One feature/bug fix per pull request to keep things clean and easy to understand - Use 4 spaces instead of tabs, this is the default for VS 2019 and WebStorm (to my knowledge)

Pull Requesting

- Only make pull requests to develop, never master, if you make a PR to master we'll comment on it and close it - You're probably going to get some comments or questions from us, they will be to ensure consistency and maintainability - We'll try to respond to pull requests as soon as possible, if its been a day or two, please reach out to us, we may have missed it - Each PR should come from its own feature branch not develop in your fork, it should have a meaningful branch name (what is being added/fixed)

 - new-feature (Good)
 - fix-bug (Good)
 - patch (Bad)
 - develop (Bad)

If you have any questions about any of this, please let us know.
