You likely come here from the issues or pull requests page. There are some suggestions on how to make your contribution most useful.
Consider using a bug report/feature request template. Feel free to adapt it for your needs. You can opt out and start from a blank issue, but be mindful of the completeness of the information.
There are feature requests of different kinds:
- A complement to existing functionality or another ready-to-implement request.
- A new idea or something else that requires a discussion.
The former is completely okay to be asked via an issue.
The main purpose of the BugStalker development model is to provide two things:
- All updates related to the release of new
rustcversions must be released as quickly as possible. - Implementing of new features shouldn't interfere with the first point.
That is why BugStalker using a developing model similar to GitFlow.
There is a stable master branch and a develop branch with development
changes for the next release.
All changes into this project may be grouped into two big groups — features and
improvements.
If you want to add a new feature:
- create your own branch from
develop - implement feature
- create pull request into
developbranch
If you want to send an improvement (a bugfix, readme fix,
or add support for one of rustc versions):
- create your own branch from
master - implement improvement
- create pull requests into
masteranddevelopbranch
