Contributing

We use a rebase-oriented workflow. We do not use merge commits. This means to get your local branch up-to-date with the upstream, you would use

git pull --rebase upstream master

instead of regular git pull. It’s best to write your commits prefacing the file you changed, but if you don’t, you can always fix your history using git rebase -i. An example of a good commit would be

index: Fix UI layout in mobile view.

Reviewing other PR's :

Reviewing other PR's is good practice. Easy-to-use scripts in tools/ have been provided to fetch PR's . Here's how you make use of them :

./tools/fetch-pull-request 123

(where 123 is the PR number).
