Contribution Guideline
Project Scope
- Bug fixes and maintenance
- Prioritize extensibility and simplicity
- Do not make the codebase more complex, keep it simple to hack on
- Do not add extra dependency (if we do, add compile time switch to disable it)
- New features may be added if it cannot be achieved (easily) via a shell script, doesn't break backwards compatibility and doesn't violate any of the above rules.
Contribution Guideline
When contributing, make sure:
- Your contribution falls under nsxiv's scope and aim
- You follow the existing code style (see .editorconfig)
- You open the pull request from a new branch, not from master
If your contribution is not suitable for general use, it will not be included in nsxiv. For changes that are very much up to preference, such as changing values in config.h, please do not open a pull request unless you have an objective explanation.
See the open issues to find something to work on. You can also filter the issues via label:
- Good first issue: (Easy) Issues which do not require much if any experience.
- Up for grabs: (Intermediate) Issues which are free for anyone who wants to pick it up. Might require some experience.
- Help wanted: (Intermediate/Experienced) Issues where we require some help.
