How to Contribute

Contributions are always welcome! Please use the following guidelines when contributing to lazycell:

1. Fork lazycell
2. Clone your fork (git clone https://github.com/$YOUR_USERNAME/lazycell && cd lazycell)
3. Create a new branch (git checkout -b new-branch)
4. Make your changes
5. Commit your changes (git commit -am "your message")

• This project uses the conventional changelog format, so that we can easily update the CHANGELOG.md using clog.
• In addition to the conventions defined above, we also use imp, wip, and examples.
• Format your commit subject line using the following format: TYPE(COMPONENT): MESSAGE where TYPE is one of the following:
  • feat - A new feature
  • imp - An improvement to an existing feature
  • perf - A performance improvement
  • docs - Changes to documentation only
  • tests - Changes to the testing framework or tests only
  • fix - A bug fix
  • refactor - Code functionality doesn't change, but underlying structure may
  • style - Stylistic changes only, no functionality changes
  • wip - A work in progress commit (Should typically be git rebase'ed away)
  • chore - Catch all or things that have to do with the build system, etc.
  • examples - Changes to an existing example, or a new example
• The COMPONENT is optional, and may be a single file, directory, or logical component. Can be omitted if commit applies globally

6. Run the tests (cargo test)
7. git rebase into concise commits and remove --fixups (git rebase -i HEAD~NUM where NUM is number of commits back)
8. Push your changes back to your fork (git push origin $your-branch)
9. Create a pull request! (You can also create the pull request first, and we'll merge when ready. This a good way to discuss proposed changes.)
