Contributing

Thanks for contributing to this repository!

This repository follows the following conventions:

• Semantic Versioning
• Keep a Changelog
• Conventional Commits

To contribute a change:

1. Create a fork of the existing repository
   1. On the project’s home page, in the top right, click Fork.
   2. Below Select a namespace to fork the project, identify the project you want to fork to, and click Select. Only namespaces you have Developer and higher permissions for are shown.
   3. GitHub creates your fork, and redirects you to the project page for your new fork. The permissions you have in the namespace are your permissions in the fork.
2. Make the changes in code.
3. Make commits using the Conventional Commits format. This helps with automation for changelog. Update CHANGELOG.md in the same commit using the Keep a Changelog. Depending on tooling maturity, this step may be automated.
4. Ensure all new commits from the master branch are rebased into your branch.
5. Open a merge request. If this merge request is solving a preexisting issue, add the issue reference into the description of the MR.
6. Wait for a maintainer of the repository (see CODEOWNERS) to approve.
7. If you have permissions to merge, you are responsible for merging. Otherwise, a CODEOWNER will merge the commit.
