Contributing

We love pull requests from everyone. By participating in this project, you agree to abide by our code of conduct.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account. If you are not familiar with git and GitHub, take a look at http://happygitwithr.com/ to get started.

  • Submit a post for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.

    • Clearly describe your issue, including steps to reproduce when it is a bug, or some justification for a proposed improvement.

  • Fork the repository on GitHub to make a copy of the repository on your account. Or use this line in your shell terminal:

    git clone git@github.com:your-username/Reproducibility_in_Plant_Pathology.git

Making changes

  • Edit the files, save often, and make commits of logical units, where each commit indicates one concept.
  • Follow our style guide.
  • Make sure you write good commit messages.
  • Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your code changes.
  • Run all the tests using devtools::check() to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
  • If you need help or unsure about anything, post an update to your issue.
