How to contribute

We're excited you're considering contributing to our project! Your patches are essential to keeping our SDKs bug free and up-to-date. We want to keep it as easy as possible to contribute. There are only a few guidelines you must follow that will allow us to keep up with pull requests and maintain a high quality code base.

Getting Started

  • Make sure you have a GitHub account
  • Make sure you have a HelloSign account
  • Submit a new issue ticket, assuming one does not already exist.
    • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
    • Make sure to include the version you are using which has the issue (and confirm that the issue you are having has not been fixed in a later version)
  • Fork the repository on GitHub

Making Changes

  • Make commits of logical units.
  • Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
  • Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.
  • Make sure you have added any necessary tests for your changes.
  • Run all unit tests, if available, to ensure nothing else was accidentally broken.

Making trivial changes

For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not always necessary to create a new issue ticket.

Submitting Changes

  • Push your changes to your fork of the repository.
  • Submit a pull request to the repository in the HelloFax organization.
  • Update your issue ticket to mark that you have submitted code and are ready for it to be reviewed (Status: Ready for Merge).
    • Include a link to the pull request in the ticket.
  • The HelloSign dev team looks at Pull Requests on a regular basis.
  • After feedback has been given we expect responses within two weeks. After two weeks we may close the pull request if it isn't showing any activity.
