What does "contributing" mean?
Creating an issue is the simplest form of contributing to a project. But there are many ways to contribute, including the following:
- Updating or correcting documentation
- Feature requests
- Bug reports
Creating an issue
Please be as descriptive as possible when creating an issue. Give us the information we need to successfully answer your question or address your issue.
Here are some tips for creating idiomatic issues. Taking just a little bit extra time will make your issue easier to read, easier to resolve, more likely to be found by others who have the same or similar issue in the future.
- take some time to learn basic markdown. This markdown cheatsheet is super helpful, as is the GitHub guide to basic markdown.
- Learn about GitHub Flavored Markdown. And if you want to really go above and beyond, read mastering markdown.
- use backticks to wrap code. This ensures that code will retain its format, making it much more readable to others
- use syntax highlighting by adding the correct language name after the first "code fence"
