Contributing

Thank you so much for considering to help out with the documentation! We welcome contributions from anyone on the internet, and are grateful for even the smallest of improvement!

Please fork, fix, commit and send a pull request for the maintainers to review and merge into the main code base.

Forking doc

When you "Fork" the project, GitHub will make a copy of the project that is entirely yours; it lives in your namespace, and you can push to it.

Getting ready for a pull request

Please check the following:

• Code must adhere to the official Go Formatting guidelines.

• Get the branch up to date, by merging in any recent changes from the master branch.

Making the pull request

• On the GitHub site, go to "Code". Then click the green "Compare and Review" button. Your branch is probably in the "Example Comparisons" list, so click on it. If not, select it for the "compare" branch.

• Make sure you are comparing your new branch to master. It probably won't be, since the front page is the latest release branch, rather than master now. So click the base branch and change it to master.

• Press Create Pull Request button.

• Give a brief title.

• Explain the major changes you are asking to be code reviewed. Often it is useful to open a second tab in your browser where you can look through the diff yourself to remind yourself of all the changes you have made.
