Contributing

  • Fork, then clone the repo:

    git clone [email protected]:your_username/ModbusMaster.git

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work

    • This is usually the master branch
    • Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch
    • To quickly create a topic branch based on master; git checkout -b fix/master/my_contribution master. Please avoid working directly on the master branch.

  • Follow the style guide

  • Test your change

    $ make

    Project must build successfully using make in order for contribution to be considered.

  • Make commits of logical units

    • Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing
    • Each commit should represent one atomic change and should stand on its own
    • Write a good commit message

  • Push to your fork and submit a pull request

  • Code of conduct

Labels

Project maintainers assign labels to Issues and Pull Requests (PRs) to categorize, prioritize, and provide status. The following guidelines and conventions are used in this project:

Type

  • Bug - existing code does not behave as described in the project documentation; requires clear test case and be reproducible by project maintainer
  • Enhancement - improvement to an existing feature (Issue or Pull Request)
  • Feature Requst - new functionality; requires a well-written, clear user story (Issue)
  • Maintenance - minor administrative change that does not provide enhancement or introduce new feature
  • Question - self-explanatory

Priority

  • Low - default priority; new issues generally start here
  • Medium - issues are escalated, depending on severity of the issue
  • High - issues are escalated, depending on severity of the issue
  • Critical - these issues are to be resolved ahead of any other

Status

  • Abandoned - issue/PR closed due to inactivity
  • Blocked - issue/PR will not be resolved/merged (some projects label these items as wontfix; include explanation in issue/PR)
  • In Progress - issue has been assigned and is actively being addressed; re-label issue On Hold with explanation if there will be a significant delay
  • Maintainer Review Needed - last step prior to merge; PR passes continuous integration tests and is able to be cleanly merged - awaiting review for style, code cleanliness, etc.
  • On Hold - implementation delayed; provide explanation in issue/PR
  • Pending Contributor Response - issue/PR closed after 14 days of inactivity (re-label Abandoned at closure)
