How to Contribute

We want to make contributing to this project as easy as possible.

Reporting Issues

If you have an issue, please report it on the issue tracker.

When you are up for writing a PR to solve the issue you encountered, it's not needed to first open a separate issue. In that case only opening a PR with a description of the issue you are trying to solve is just fine.

Contributing Code

Pull requests are always welcome. When in doubt if your contribution fits within the rest of the project, feel free to first open an issue to discuss your idea.

This is not needed when fixing a bug or adding an enhancement, as long as the enhancement you are trying to add can be found in the public GitLab API docs as this project only supports what is in the public API docs.

Coding style

We try to follow the Go best practices, where it makes sense, and use gofumpt to format code in this project. As a general rule of thumb we prefer to keep line width for comments below 80 chars and for code (where possible and sensible) below 100 chars.

Before making a PR, please look at the rest this package and try to make sure your contribution is consistent with the rest of the coding style.

New struct field or methods should be placed (as much as possible) in the same order as the ordering used in the public API docs. The idea is that this makes it easier to find things.
