If you are reporting a bug, please include:

  • Your operating system name and version.

Fix bugs

Look through the GitHub issues for bugs. Anything tagged with “bug” and “help wanted” is open to whoever wants to implement it.

Write Documentation

INBOmd could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official INBOmd docs, in roxygen strings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/inbo/inbomd/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

  • Explain in detail how it would work.
  • Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
  • Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up INBOmd for local development.

  1. Fork the INBOmd repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/inbomd.git
  3. Create a branch for local development:

     $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  4. When you’re done making changes (please include unit tests as well), make a check on the code behavior and aim for 0 errors and 0 warnings. In R, you can use the check of the devtools package:

    devtools::check(document = FALSE, cleanup = FALSE, args = c('--as-cran'))
  5. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

  $ git add .
  $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
  $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
  1. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Thanks for contributing!
