This repository hosts the source code for the Jekyll website hosted at https://bisq.network.
Please submit proposed changes as pull requests, ideally with commit messages that follow these conventions.
NOTE ON COMPENSATION
If you're expecting compensation from the Bisq DAO for your work, please make sure you've corresponded with the repo's maintainer to ensure the work you plan to do is currently prioritized and budgeted.
You can do this by opening an issue in this repo explaining your proposed changes and cost, or by floating the idea in the #website channel on Keybase.
See further details on the this wiki page.
NOTE ON TRANSLATIONS
All translations work, for the website and otherwise, takes place on Transifex. Please do not make pull requests for non-English text changes in this repository!
If you'd like to propose adding a new language to the website, please get in touch in the #transifex channel on Keybase or open an issue in this repository.
See further details on the this wiki page.
A pull requests should generally have a singular, well-defined purpose. For example, a pull request to add a blog post should just add a blog post, not add a blog post and change spacing/indentation on some other page.
You should fork this repository, create a new branch, and make all your changes there. Please don't commit your changes to the master branch.
Please thoroughly test pull requests before submitting.
For smaller changes, it's usually enough to build and observe the site locally. Don't forget that the site is responsive, so testing on mobile and desktop screens is important, as is testing on multiple browsers.
It's also not a bad idea to do a diff on the source code before submitting (for example, to make sure stray characters weren't added somewhere by mistake). You can check for changes by running git diff <latest upstream commit id> <your branch's latest commit id> or by using a graphical tool like Meld.
For changes that may alter the site's functionality, it can be helpful to diff the generated HTML code in _site/ against the current live production website's HTML code. You can do this by building master branch and your work branch in separate folders, and then run something like git diff -ru <upstream/master _site folder> <local/work _site folder> or by comparing the 2 directories with a graphical tool like Meld.
Consider breaking big initiatives into smaller chunks wherever possible, or make a [WIP] or draft PR when you start a big initiative so it's possible to review your changes in smaller chunks. You can always squash/rebase commits after approval. Remember that reviewing pull requests is voluntary and can take time, so try to make the process as easy as possible for reviewers.
Review feedback will be evaluated using these approaches. If reviewers find significant errors, errors that indicate a clear lack of testing, or if they find changes that don't relate to the declared purpose of the pull request, your pull request may be rejected. Don't take it personally—just integrate feedback and try again.
FYI: after you make a pull request, note that Netlify will automatically create a build of your proposed changes at https://deploy-preview-XYZ--bisq-website.netlify.com (where XYZ is the number of your pull request).
You'll want to run the site locally to test your changes.
