Thank you for investing your time in contributing to our project! Any contribution you make will be reflected on this SDK.
In this guide you will get an overview of the contribution workflow from opening an issue, creating a PR, reviewing, and merging the PR.
Use the table of contents icon on the top left corner of this document to get to a specific section of this guide quickly.
To get an overview of the project, read the README.
If you spot a problem with the code, search if an issue already exists. If a related issue doesn't exist, you can open a new issue using a relevant issue form.
Scan through our existing issues to find one that interests you. You can narrow down the search using labels as filters. As a general rule, we don’t assign issues to anyone. If you find an issue to work on, you are welcome to open a PR with a fix.
- Fork the repository.
-
Using GitHub Desktop:
- Getting started with GitHub Desktop will guide you through setting up Desktop.
- Once Desktop is set up, you can use it to fork the repo!
-
Using the command line:
- Fork the repo so that you can make your changes without affecting the original project until you're ready to merge them.
- Install or update PHP to version 7.4 or higher.
3Create a working branch and start with your changes!
Commit the changes once you are happy with them. Don't forget to self-review to speed up the review process.
When you're finished with the changes, create a pull request, also known as a PR.
- Fill the "Ready for review" template so that we can review your PR. This template helps reviewers understand your changes as well as the purpose of your pull request.
- Don't forget to link PR to issue if you are solving one.
- Enable the checkbox to allow maintainer edits so the branch can be updated for a merge. Once you submit your PR, an eBay team member will review your proposal. We may ask questions or request additional information.
- We may ask for changes to be made before a PR can be merged, either using suggested changes or pull request comments. You can make any changes in your fork, then commit them to your branch.
- As you update your PR and apply changes, mark each conversation as resolved.
- If you run into any merge issues, checkout this git tutorial to help you resolve merge conflicts and other issues.
Congratulations! The eBay team thanks you.
Once your PR is merged, your contributions will be publicly visible on the repo.
