Introduction

First of all, thank you for considering contributing to Bazar. We appreciate your time and effort in making this e-commerce package better. We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

  • Reporting a bug
  • Discussing the current state of the code
  • Submitting a fix
  • Proposing new features
  • Becoming a maintainer

Following these guidelines helps communicate that you respect the developers' time managing and developing this open-source project. In return, they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue, assessing changes, and helping you finalize your pull requests.

Ground Rules

Responsibilities

  • Create issues for any significant changes and enhancements that you wish to make. Discuss things transparently, and get community feedback.
  • Keep feature versions as small as possible, preferably one new feature per version.

All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase. We actively welcome your pull requests:

  1. Fork the repo and create your branch from master.
  2. If you've added code that should be tested, add tests.
  3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
  4. Ensure the test suite passes.
  5. Make sure your code lints.
  6. Open a pull request!
