Contributing

openscienceprize is an open source project, and we welcome contributions of all kinds

To report a bug, open an issue on our issue tracker.

Contributors to the project are required to follow the code of conduct.

By contributing, you are agreeing that we may redistribute your work under these licenses.

We use the fork and pull model to manage changes. More information about forking a repository and making a Pull Request.

To contribute to this repository:

  1. fork the project repository. Click on the 'Fork' button near the top of the page. This creates a copy of the code under your account on the GitHub server.

  2. clone this copy of the repository to your local disk:

     $ git clone git@github.com:YourLogin/openscienceprize.git
 $ cd openscienceprize

  3. create a new branch in your clone git checkout -b my-new-branch. Never work in the master branch!

  4. Work on this copy on your computer using Git to do the version control. When you're done editing, do:

       $ git add modified_files
   $ git commit

    to record your changes in Git, then push them to GitHub with:

       $ git push -u origin my-new-branch

Finally, go to the web page of your fork of the openscienceprize repo, and click 'Pull request' to send your changes to the maintainers for review. This will send an email to the committers.

There is one additional rule: no one can merge their own pull requests, someone else has to press the button.
