# Contributing
**Drogon** is an open source project at its heart and every contribution is
welcome. By participating in this project you agree to stick to common sense and
contribute in an overall positive way.
## Getting Started
1. Fork, then clone the repository: `git clone
git@github.com:your-username/drogon.git`
1. Follow the [official installation steps on
Github](https://drogonframework.github.io/drogon-docs/#/ENG-02-Installation). Its best to
make sure to have the `drogon_ctl` executable in your shells `PATH`
environment variable in case you use a terminal.
Now you can create branches, start adding features & bugfixes to the code, and
[create pull requests](https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/compare).
## Pull Requests
Feel free to [create a pull request](https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/compare)
if you think you can contribute to the project. You will be listed as a
[contributor](https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/graphs/contributors), agree to
this document, and the
[LICENSE](https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/blob/master/LICENSE).
There are also some recommendations you can follow. These arent requirements,
but they will make the development more straightforward:
1. If you are unsure about a specific change, have questions, or want to get
feedback about a feature you want to introduce, [open a new
issue](https://github.com/an-tao/drogon/issues) (please make sure that there
is no previous issue about a similar topic).
1. You should branch off the current state of the `master` branch, and also
merge it into your local branch before creating a pull request if there were
other changes introduced in the meantime.
1. You can use the following branch names to make your intent clearer:
* `bugfix/123-fix-template-parser` when you want to fix a bug in the
template parser.
* `feature/123-add-l10n-and-i18n` if you want to add localization (l10n) and
internationalization (i18n) as a new feature to the project.
* If theres no open issue and no need to open one you can skip the number,
and just use the descriptive part: `bugfix/fix-typo-in-docs`.
1. Write a brief, but good, and descriptive commit message / pull request title in English,
e. g. “Added Internationalization and Localization”.
If you follow these recommendations your pull request will have more success:
1. Keep the style consistent to the project, when in doubt refer to the [Google
C++ Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#C++_Version).
1. Please write all comments in English. Comments for new public API introduced by
your pull request must be added and written in [Doxygen](http://www.doxygen.nl/) format.
1. Format the code with `clang-format` (>= 8.0.0). The configuration is already
provided in the `.clang-format` file, just run the `./format.sh` script
before submitting your pull request.
1. Install [Google Test](https://github.com/google/googletest), and write a test
case.
1. In case it is a bugfix, its best to write a test that breaks in the old
version, but works in the new one. This way regressions can be tracked
over time.
1. If you add a feature, it is best to write the test as if it would be an
example how to use the newly introduced feature and to test all major,
newly introduced code.
## Project Maintainers & Collaborators
In addition to the guidelines mentioned above, collaborators with write access
to the repository should also follow these guidelines:
1. If there are new tests as part of the pull request, you should make sure that
they succeed.
1. When merging **Pull Requests** you should use the option *Squash & Merge* and
chose a descriptive commit message for the bugfix / feature (if not already
done by the individual contributor).
This way the history in the `master` branch will be free of small
corrections and easier to follow for people who arent engaged in the
project on a day-to-day basis.
