## Reporting issues |
|
|
11 |
|
|
|
12 |
A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the |
|
|
13 |
repository. |
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
Please read the following guidelines before you [report an issue](https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/issues/): |
|
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
1. **Use the GitHub issue search** — check if the issue has already been |
|
|
18 |
reported. If it has been, please comment on the existing issue. |
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
2. **Check if the issue has been fixed** — the latest `master` or |
|
|
21 |
development branch may already contain a fix. |
|
|
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
3. **Isolate the demonstrable problem** — make sure that the code in the |
|
|
24 |
project's repository is _definitely_ responsible for the issue. Create a |
|
|
25 |
[reduced test case](http://css-tricks.com/6263-reduced-test-cases/) - an |
|
|
26 |
extremely simple and immediately viewable example of the issue. |
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
4. **Include a live example** — provide a link to your reduced test case |
|
|
29 |
when appropriate (e.g. if the issue is related to (front-end technologies). |
|
|
30 |
Please use [jsFiddle](http://jsfiddle.net) to host examples. |
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report too. What is your |
|
|
33 |
environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What browser(s) and OS |
|
|
34 |
experience the problem? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these |
|
|
35 |
details will help people to assess and fix any potential bugs. |
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
### Example of a good bug report: |
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
> Short and descriptive title |
|
|
40 |
> |
|
|
41 |
> A summary of the issue and the browser/OS environment in which it occurs. If |
|
|
42 |
> suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug. |
|
|
43 |
> |
|
|
44 |
> 1. This is the first step |
|
|
45 |
> 2. This is the second step |
|
|
46 |
> 3. Further steps, etc. |
|
|
47 |
> |
|
|
48 |
> `<url>` (a link to the reduced test case) |
|
|
49 |
> |
|
|
50 |
> Any other information you want to share that is relevant to the issue being |
|
|
51 |
> reported. This might include the lines of code that you have identified as |
|
|
52 |
> causing the bug, and potential solutions (and your opinions on their |
|
|
53 |
> merits). |
|
|
54 |
|
|
|
55 |
A good bug report shouldn't leave people needing to chase you up to get further |
|
|
56 |
information that is required to assess or fix the bug. |

## Pull requests |
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
Good pull requests — patches, improvements, new features — are a fantastic |
|
|
64 |
help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated |
|
|
65 |
commits. |
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
If your contribution involves a significant amount of work or substantial |
|
|
68 |
changes to any part of the project, please open an issue to discuss it first. |
|
|
69 |
|
|
|
70 |
Please follow this process; it's the best way to get your work included in the |
|
|
71 |
project: |
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
1. [Fork](http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/) the project. |
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
2. Clone your fork (`git clone |
|
|
76 |
https://github.com/<your-username>/html5-boilerplate.git`). |
|
|
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
3. Add an `upstream` remote (`git remote add upstream |
|
|
79 |
https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate.git`). |
|
|
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
4. Get the latest changes from upstream (e.g. `git pull upstream |
|
|
82 |
<dev-branch>`). |
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
5. Create a new topic branch to contain your feature, change, or fix (`git |
|
|
85 |
checkout -b <topic-branch-name>`). |
|
|
86 |
|
|
|
87 |
6. Make sure that your changes adhere to the current coding conventions used |
|
|
88 |
throughout the project - indentation, accurate comments, etc. Please update |
|
|
89 |
any documentation that is relevant to the change you are making. |
|
|
90 |
|
|
|
91 |
7. Commit your changes in logical chunks; use git's [interactive |
|
|
92 |
rebase](https://help.github.com/articles/interactive-rebase) feature to tidy |
|
|
93 |
up your commits before making them public. Please adhere to these [git commit |
|
|
94 |
message |
|
|
95 |
guidelines](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html) |
|
|
96 |
or your pull request is unlikely be merged into the main project. |
|
|
97 |
|
|
|
98 |
8. Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream branch into your topic branch. |
|
|
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
9. Push your topic branch up to your fork (`git push origin |
|
|
101 |
<topic-branch-name>`). |
|
|
102 |
|
|
|
103 |
10. [Open a Pull Request](http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/) with a |
|
|
104 |
clear title and description. Please mention which browsers you tested in. |
|
