Contributing Guidelines

You can join our slack channel. Each active repo has its own channel to direct questions to (for example #powerup or #portal).
Remember that this is an inclusive community, committed to creating a safe, positive environment. See the full Code of Conduct.

General Guidelines

If you’re just getting started work on an issue labeled “First Timers Only” in any project. Additional resources are available on our website.
In an active repository (not an archived one), choose an open issue from the issue list, claim it in the comments, and a maintainer will assign it to you.
After approval you must make continuous notes on your progress in the issue while working. If there is not at least one comment every 3 days, the maintainer can reassign the issue.
When sending a PR have an appropriate title referencing the issue which it solves. Add “fixes #” in the commit body, so that when the PR gets merged, the issue gets closed automatically. Do not do this if the PR solves only a part of the issue. See more information on commit guidelines here.
If you’d like to create a new issue, please go through our issue list first (open as well as closed) and make sure the issues you are reporting do not replicate the existing issues.
Have a short description on what has gone wrong (like a root cause analysis and description of the fix), if that information is not already present in the issue.
If you have issues on multiple pages, report them separately. Do not combine them into a single issue.
