# 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:
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][slack-dev] channel on Slack and we can direct you to the most appropriate issue to pick up.
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.
## Set up
Please follow the [GETTING_STARTED](GETTING_STARTED.md) guide to set up your local dev environment.
This guide assumes that the git remote name of the main repo is `upstream` and that your fork is named `origin`.
Create a new branch on your local machine to make your changes against (based on `upstream/master`):
git checkout -b branch-name-here --no-track upstream/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:
bundle exec rspec spec
## Which issue to pick first?
We have curated all issues interesting for new members of the community within the [Welcome New Developers project board][welcome-dev]. Have a look and pick the one you would prefer working on!
## Internationalisation (i18n)
The locale `en` is maintained in the source code, but other locales are managed at [Transifex][ofn-transifex]. Read more about [internationalisation][i18n] in the developer wiki.
## Making a change
Make your changes to the codebase. We recommend using TDD. Add a test, make changes and get the test suite back to green.
bundle exec rspec spec
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"
Push your changes to a branch on your fork:
git push origin branch-name-here
## Submitting a Pull Request
Use the GitHub UI to submit a [new pull request][pr] against upstream/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][great-pr].
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].
