# Contributing to HTML5 Boilerplate
|
|
|
|
♥ [HTML5 Boilerplate](http://html5boilerplate.com) and want to get involved?
|
|
Thanks! There are plenty of ways you can help!

## Bugs
|
|
|
|
A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the
|
|
repository. Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!
|
|
|
|
Guidelines for bug reports:
|
|
|
|
1. **Use the GitHub issue search** — check if the issue has already been
|
|
reported.
|
|
|
|
2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** — try to reproduce it using the
|
|
latest `master` branch in the repository.
|
|
|
|
3. **Isolate the problem** — ideally create a [reduced test
|
|
case](http://css-tricks.com/6263-reduced-test-cases/) and a live example.
|
|
|
|
A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more
|
|
information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What is
|
|
your environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What browser(s) and OS
|
|
experience the problem? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these
|
|
details will help people to fix any potential bugs.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
> Short and descriptive example bug report title
|
|
>
|
|
> A summary of the issue and the browser/OS environment in which it occurs. If
|
|
> suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug.
|
|
>
|
|
> 1. This is the first step
|
|
> 2. This is the second step
|
|
> 3. Further steps, etc.
|
|
>
|
|
> `<url>` (a link to the reduced test case)
|
|
>
|
|
> Any other information you want to share that is relevant to the issue being
|
|
> reported. This might include the lines of code that you have identified as
|
|
> causing the bug, and potential solutions (and your opinions on their
|
|
> merits).

## Pull requests
|
|
|
|
Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic
|
|
help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated
|
|
commits. If your contribution involves a significant amount of work or substantial
|
|
changes to any part of the project, please open an issue to discuss it first.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project
|
|
(indentation, accurate comments, etc.). Please update any documentation that is
|
|
relevant to the change you're making.
|
|
|
|
Please follow this process; it's the best way to get your work included in the
|
|
project:
|
|
|
|
1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/) the project, clone your fork,
|
|
and configure the remotes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clones your fork of the repo into the current directory in terminal
|
|
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/html5-boilerplate.git
|
|
# Navigate to the newly cloned directory
|
|
cd html5-boilerplate
|
|
# Assigns the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
|
|
git remote add upstream https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. If you cloned a while ago, get the latest changes from upstream:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git checkout master
|
|
git pull upstream master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Create a new topic branch to contain your feature, change, or fix:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git checkout -b <topic-branch-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. Commit your changes in logical chunks. Please adhere to these [git commit
|
|
message
|
|
guidelines](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html)
|
|
or your pull request is unlikely be merged into the main project. Use git's
|
|
[interactive rebase](https://help.github.com/articles/interactive-rebase)
|
|
feature to tidy up your commits before making them public.
|
|
|
|
5. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git pull [--rebase] upstream master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. Push your topic branch up to your fork:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git push origin <topic-branch-name>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
10. [Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) with a
|
|
clear title and description.
|
|
|
|
