The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to three primary repositories of Resuminator which are resuminator/resuminator, resuminator/resuminator-server, resuminator/docs which are hosted in the Resuminator Organization on GitHub.

Use your best judgment, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.

Working on your first Pull Request? You can learn how from this free video series:

How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub

Unsure where to begin contributing to Resuminator? You can start by looking through these Level 1 and good-first-issue issues:

  • Level 1 - Easy issues, which can be fixed with few commits.
  • Good First Issue - issues which should be a bit more involved than Level 1 issues.

Both issue lists are sorted by total number of comments. While not perfect, number of comments is a reasonable proxy for impact a given change will have

Pull Requests#

The process described here has several goals:

  • Maintain Resuminator's quality
  • Fix problems that are important to users
  • Engage the community in working toward the best possible Resuminator
  • Enable a sustainable system for Resuminator's maintainers to review contributions

Please follow these steps to have your contribution considered by the maintainers:

  1. Follow all instructions in the template

  2. After you submit your pull request, verify that all status checks are passing.

    What if the status checks are failing?

    If a status check is failing, and you believe that the failure is unrelated to your change, please leave a comment on the pull request explaining why you believe the failure is unrelated. A maintainer will re-run the status check for you. If we conclude that the failure was a false positive, then we will open an issue to track that problem with our status check suite.

  3. Semantic commit messages

    See how a minor change to your commit message style can make you a better programmer.

    Format: <type>(<scope>): <subject>

    <scope> is optional

    feat: allow overriding of webpack config^--^  ^------------^|     ||     +-> Summary in present tense.|+-------> Type: chore, docs, feat, fix, refactor, style, or test.

    The various types of commits:

    • feat: new feature for the user, not a new feature for build script
    • fix: bug fix for the user, not a fix to a build script
    • docs: changes to the documentation
    • style: formatting, missing semi colons, etc; no production code change
    • refactor: refactoring production code, eg. renaming a variable
    • test: adding missing tests, refactoring tests; no production code change
    • chore: updating grunt tasks etc; no production code change

    Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
