# How to Contribute
|
|
|
|
Two simple steps:
|
|
|
|
* Fork this repository to your github account
|
|
* Clone it to your machine
|
|
|
|
Now you can start working on the project.
|
|
|
|
## Open Issues
|
|
|
|
Check out `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` templates in the `.github` folder to know how to make a bug report or feature request.
|
|
|
|
## Here are things you could work on:
|
|
|
|
1. New features, new functions, new stuff!
|
|
* Before adding anything new, please, first create an issue for it to be discussed;
|
|
* Write tests to anything new you make.
|
|
2. Writing tests to try to reproduce those pesky bugs!
|
|
* Anything you might think that have not been tested yet.
|
|
3. Writing the documentation.
|
|
* Don't write any documentation in the source files, only in `Documentation.md`.
|
|
4. Writing cool examples.
|
|
5. Writing benchmarks
|
|
|
|
## But to do so you must:
|
|
|
|
1. Maintain the code quality
|
|
* 4 space indentation;
|
|
* Preferably don't clump up the code, try to make it well spaced by using empty lines;
|
|
* Opening braces go underneath;
|
|
* Give some sense to the variable names.
|
|
2. Maintain the structure of the project
|
|
* Separate files into folders when possible;
|
|
* Keep the `src` folder clean from anything that is not source code;
|
|
* Create a new folder for each example with a meaningful name if it has more than one file;
|
|
3. If something looks complicated, explain it as well as possible
|
|
4. All source files (`.c`, `.h`, etc) must contain a header with the following template:
|
|
* Complete file name.
|
|
* First commit date in `dd/mm/yyyy`.
|
|
* Authors name with (optional) link to github page.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/**
|
|
* file_name.c
|
|
*
|
|
* Creation Date: dd/mm/yyyy
|
|
*
|
|
* Authors:
|
|
* Author 1 Name (https://github.com/AuthorGithubPage)
|
|
* Author 2 Name
|
|
*
|
|

|
|
```
|

|
|
**Make sure your name is listed in the AUTHORS file**
