# Contributing to tmux-notify

We love your input! 🚀 We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

-   [Reporting a bug](https://github.com/rickstaa/tmux-notify/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&projects=&template=bug_report.md&title=).
-   [Discussing the current state of the code](https://github.com/rickstaa/tmux-notify/discussions).
-   [Submitting a fix](https://github.com/rickstaa/tmux-notify/compare).
-   [Proposing new features](https://github.com/rickstaa/tmux-notify/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&projects=&template=feature_request.md&title=).
-   Becoming a maintainer.

## We Develop with Github

We use github to host code, track issues and feature requests, and accept pull requests.

## We Use [Github Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html), So All Code Changes Happen Through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes to the codebase (we use [Github Flow](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/github-flow)). We actively welcome your pull requests:

1. Fork the repo and create your branch from `main`.
2. Add tests if you've added code that should be tested.
3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
4. Ensure the test suite passes.
5. Make sure your code lints.
6. Issue that pull request!

## Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License

In short, when you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same [MIT License](http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.

## Report bugs using Github's [issues](https://github.com/rickstaa/tmux-notify/issues)

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by [opening a new issue](https://github.com/rickstaa/tmux-notify/issues/new/choose); it's that easy!

## Write bug reports with detail, background, and sample code

[This is an example](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12488905/180626) of a bug report, and I think it's a good model. Here's [another example from Craig Hockenberry](http://www.openradar.me/11905408), an app developer greatly respected in the community.

**Great Bug Reports** tend to have:

-   A quick summary and/or background.
-   Steps to reproduce:
    -   Be specific!
    -   Give sample code if you can. [This stackoverflow question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12488905/180626) includes sample code that _anyone_ with a base R setup can run to reproduce what I was seeing.
-   What you expected would happen.
-   What actually happens.
-   Notes (possibly including why you think this might be happening, or stuff you tried that didn't work).

People _love_ thorough bug reports. I'm not even kidding.

## Use a Consistent Coding Style

We use [shfmt](https://github.com/mvdan/sh#shfmt) to format our shell scripts. The easiest way to use [shfmt](https://github.com/mvdan/sh#shfmt) is through the [bash-beautify](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=shakram02.bash-beautify) or [shell-format](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=foxundermoon.shell-format) VS Code extensions.
