Contribute

Feel free to fork and send pull requests!

To make it easier for us to accept your patches, please follow the conventional GitHub workflow and keep in mind that your pull requests should have blaster branch as both the origin and target.

  1. After forking, clone your repo:

     rm -rf ~/.twister/html  # in case you already have it cloned from not your repo
     git clone git@github.com:YOURNICKNAME/twister-html.git ~/.twister/html
     cd ~/.twister/html
    
  2. Switch to 'blaster' branch:

     git checkout blaster
    
  3. CREATE A NEW BRANCH, specific to the fix you're implementing:

     git checkout -b my-awesome-fix
    
  4. Make your changes.

  5. Commit and push:

     git commit -m "fix of #12345: bad foobarizer" && git push
    
  6. Now open a pull request from branch 'YOURNICKNAME:my-awesome-fix' to 'miguelfreitas:blaster' on GitHub.

  7. Once the request is accepted, switch back to 'blaster' and track changes in upstream repo:

     git remote add upstream https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html.git  # this is one-off setup
     git fetch upstream && git checkout blaster
     git merge upstream/blaster  # you should get a fast-forward message here
     git push
    

Translations

If you want to add your own translation, edit interface_localization.js like this:

  1. Fork the repo and create a new branch from 'blaster' one:

     git clone git@github.com:YOURNICKNAME/twister-html.git ~/.twister/html
     cd ~/.twister/html && git checkout blaster
     git checkout -b Klingon-translation
    
  2. Add your language to the list of available choices. You should use your ISO code here, it should match what the browser reports. The Klingon ISO is 'tlh', so:

     var knownLanguages = ['en', 'nl', 'it', 'fr', ... , 'ru', 'tlh'];
    

For multi-region languages, if you want to catch them all, use only the first half (e.g. to match it and it-ch, specify 'it').

  1. Add a new wordset block after existing ones:

     if (preferredLanguage === 'tlh') {
         polyglot.locale('tlh');
         wordset = {
             'Insults': 'mu\'qaD',
             ...
         }
     }
    
  2. Stage all changes in file interface_localization.js:

     git add interface_localization.js
    
  3. Commit & push:

     git commit -m 'Klingon translation'
     git push origin Klingon-translation
    
  4. Then open the pull request from branch 'YOURNICKNAME:Klingon-translation' to 'miguelfreitas:blaster' on GitHub.
