- All code PRs should come with: a meaningful description, inline-comments for important things, unit tests (positive and negative), and a green build in CI.
- Format your code with the lastest release of scalafmt, default style..
- PRs for features should generally come with something added to the
Documentation, so people can discover
that it exists. The docs are written in
readme/Readme.scalatex
. - Be prepared to discuss/argue-for your changes if you want them merged! You will probably need to refactor so your changes fit into the larger codebase - If your code is hard to unit test, and you don't want to unit test it, that's ok. But be prepared to argue why that's the case!
- It's entirely possible your changes won't be merged, or will get ripped out later. This is also the case for my changes, as the Author!
- Even a rejected/reverted PR is valuable! It helps explore the solution space, and know what works and what doesn't. For every line in the repo, at least three lines were tried, committed, and reverted/refactored, and more than 10 were tried without committing.
- Feel free to send Proof-Of-Concept PRs that you don't intend to get merged.
- Examples with diffs are better than words
- Always include your expected behavior
- Make it reproducible
- No complaining
