Contribution Flow

This is an outline of what a contributor’s workflow looks like:

  • Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work (usually master).
  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format (see below).
  • Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the original repository.

Thanks for your contributions!
