CONTRIBUTING

Fixing typos

Small typos or grammatical errors in documentation may be edited directly using the GitHub web interface, so long as the changes are made in the source file.

  • YES: you edit a roxygen comment in a .R file below R/.
  • NO: you edit an .Rd file below man/.

Prerequisites

Before you make a substantial pull request, you should always file an issue and make sure someone from the team agrees that it’s a problem. If you’ve found a bug, create an associated issue and illustrate the bug with a minimal reprex.

Pull request process

  • We recommend that you create a Git branch for each pull request (PR).
  • Look at the Gihub Actions build status before and after making changes.
  • We recommend the tidyverse style guide. You can use the styler package to apply these styles, but please don’t restyle code that has nothing to do with your PR. The only difference is that we adopt the = operator for assignment instead of <-.
  • We use roxygen2.
  • We use testthat. Contributions with test cases included are easier to accept.
  • For user-facing changes, add a bullet to the top of NEWS.md below the current development version header describing the changes made followed by your GitHub username, and links to relevant issue(s)/PR(s).

  • you have a question, an use case, or otherwise not a bug or feature request for the software itself.
  • you think your issue requires a longer form discussion.

Prefer to Email?

Email the person listed as maintainer in the DESCRIPTION file of this repo.

Though note that private discussions over email don’t help others - of course email is totally warranted if it’s a sensitive problem of any kind.

Thanks for contributing!
