# Contribution

Contribution in any way is appreciated, whether it is reporting problems, fixing bugs, implementing features, improving the documentation, etc.

## Opening an issue

### Bug reports

When filing a bug report, use the [bug report template](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/issues/new?assignees=&labels=bug&template=bug_report.yml&title=%5BBug%5D%3A+)
and fill in as much as you can. It is _incredibly_ difficult for a maintainer to fix a bug when it cannot be reproduced,
and giving as much detail as possible generally helps to make it easier to reproduce the problem!

### Feature requests

Please use the [feature request template](https://github.com/ClementTsang/bottom/issues/new?assignees=&labels=feature&template=feature_request.md&title=) and fill it out.
Remember to give details about what the feature is along with why you think this suggestion will be useful.

## Pull requests

If you want to directly contribute documentation changes or code, follow this! The expected workflow for a pull request is:

1. Fork the project.
2. Make your changes.
3. Make any documentation changes if necessary - if you add a new feature, it'll probably need documentation changes.
4. Commit and create a pull request to merge into the `master` branch. **Please follow the pull request template**.
5. Ask/wait for a maintainer to review your pull request.
   - Check if tests pass. These consist of clippy lints, rustfmt checks, and basic tests.
   - If changes are suggested or any comments are made, they should probably be addressed.
6. Once it looks good, it'll be merged! Note that _generally_, PRs are squashed, though feel free to ask otherwise if that isn't preferable.
