# Tide Contributing Guide

There are many ways to contribute to Tide. You can help us champion the adoption of quality testing results in the WordPress project. You can also help by contributing code or documentation to Tide itself.

Note that you can also contribute to WordPress meta (opens new window) to improve the WordPress plugin directory.

Before submitting your contribution, please make sure to take a moment and read through the following guidelines.

# Code of Conduct

This project and everyone that participates in it is governed by the Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior by contacting us on Slack.

# Issue Reporting Guidelines

  • The Issue list of this repo is exclusively for bug reports and feature requests.
  • Try to search for your issue, it may have already been answered or even fixed in the develop branch.
  • Check if the issue is reproducible with the latest stable version. If you are using a pre-release, please indicate the specific version you are using.
  • It is required that you clearly describe the steps necessary to reproduce the issue you are running into. Issues without clear reproducible steps will be closed immediately.
  • If your issue is resolved but still open, don't hesitate to close it. In case you found a solution by yourself, it could be helpful to explain how you fixed it.

# Pull Request Guidelines

  • Checkout a topic branch from develop and merge back against develop.
  • If adding a new feature:
    • Add accompanying test case.
    • Provide convincing reason to add this feature. Ideally you should open a suggestion issue first and have it green-lit before working on it.
  • If fixing a bug:
    • Provide detailed description of the bug in the PR. Live demo preferred.
    • Add appropriate test coverage if applicable.

GitHub Actions will run the unit tests and linter whenever you push changes to your PR. All jobs are required to pass successfully for a merge to be considered.
