# Contributing
We love pull requests from everyone. Any contribution is valuable, but there are two issue streams that we especially love people to work on:
We love pull requests from everyone. Here are some instructions for
contributing code to Open Food Network. See the [developer wiki](https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork/wiki) for more information.
1) Our delivery backlog, is managed via a ZenHub board (ZenHub extensions are available for most major browsers). We use a Kanban-style approach, whereby devs pick issues from the top of the backlog which has been organised according to current priorities. If you have some time and are interested in working on some issues from the backlog, please make yourself known on the [#dev](https://openfoodnetwork.slack.com/messages/C2GQ45KNU) channel on Slack and we can direct you to the most appropriate issue to pick up.
Fork, then clone the repo:
2) Our list of bugs and other self-contained issues that we consider to be a good starting point for new contributors, or devs who arent able to commit to seeing a whole feature through. These issues are marked with the `# good first issue` label.
git clone git@github.com:your-username/openfoodnetwork.git
## Set up
Follow the instructions in README.markdown to set up your machine.
Set up your local development environment by following the appropriate guide from the `Development environment setup` section in the [developer wiki](https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork/wiki).
Make sure the tests pass:
Fork the repo using the `Fork` button in the top-right corner of this screen. Then add the your fork as a remote on your local machine:
cd ~/location-of-your-local-ofn-repo
git remote add your-username https://github.com/your-username/openfoodnetwork
Fetch the latest version of `master` from the main repo:
git fetch origin master
Create a new branch on your local machine for (based on `origin/master`):
git checkout -b branch-name-here --no-track origin/master
If you want to run the whole test suite, we recommend using a free CI service to run your tests in parallel. Running the whole suite locally in series is likely to take > 40 minutes. [TravisCI][travis] and [SemaphoreCI][semaphore] both work great in our experience. Either way, make sure the tests pass on your new branch:
rspec spec
Make your change. Add tests for your change. Make the tests pass:
## Making a change
Make your changes to the codebase. We recommend using TDD. Make changes and get the test suite back to green.
rspec spec
Push to your fork and [submit a pull request][pr].
Once the tests are passing you can commit your changes. See [Making a great commit][great-commit] for more tips.

git add .
git commit -m "Add a concise commit message describing your change here"
At this point you're waiting on us. We may suggest some changes or
improvements or alternatives.
Push your changes to a branch on your fork:
To increase the chance that your pull request is swiftly accepted:
git push your-username branch-name-here
## Submitting a Pull Request
Use the GitHub UI to submit a [new pull request][pr] against origin/master. To increase the chances that your pull request is swiftly accepted please have a look at our guide to [[making a great pull request]].
TL;DR:
* Write tests
* Make sure the whole test suite is passing
* Keep your PR small, with a single focus
* Maintain a clean commit history
* Use a style consistent with the rest of the codebase
* Before submitting, [rebase your work][rebase] on the current master branch
From here, your pull request will progress through the [Review, Test, Merge & Deploy process][process].
