Contributing
Pull requests and stars are always welcome. For bugs and feature requests, please create an issue.
Please read the contributing guidelines for advice on opening issues, pull requests, and coding standards.
If you need some help and can spent some cash, feel free to contact me at CodeMentor.io too.
In short: If you want to contribute to that project, please follow these things
- Please DO NOT edit README.md, CHANGELOG.md and .verb.md files. See "Building docs" section.
- Ensure anything is okey by installing the dependencies and run the tests. See "Running tests" section.
- Always use
npm run commit
to commit changes instead ofgit commit
, because it is interactive and user-friendly. It uses commitizen behind the scenes, which follows Conventional Changelog idealogy. - Do NOT bump the version in package.json. For that we use
npm run release
, which is standard-version and follows Conventional Changelog idealogy.
Thanks a lot! :)
Building docs
Documentation and that readme is generated using verb-generate-readme, which is a verb generator, so you need to install both of them and then run verb
command like that
$ npm install verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme --global && verb
Please don't edit the README directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in .verb.md.
Running tests
Clone repository and run the following in that cloned directory
$ npm install && npm test
