Contributing to the Project

The Programming Wars project uses a software development model that centres on pull requests. To contribute code to the project:

1. Become a contributor to the project (see Becoming a Contributor).
2. Clone the repository to your local machine.
3. Confirm that you can run the project locally (refer to the Quick Start and General Build Setup for details).
4. Create a new branch from the master branch to do your work on.
5. Push your branch to Github.
6. When you are satisfied with your work, create a pull request on Githib. You will need to identify:
   • The issue number that this pull request is addressing.
   • A summary of the changes. You don't need to list every little change, only provide a high-level view of what you did.
   • Identify a senior developer to review your work.
7. Your pull request will be reviewed by one of the senior developers. It is common to be asked to make some changes before your pull request is accepted and merged into the master branch.
8. Congratulate yourself on a job well done in whatever way you like.
