Getting Started

Make sure you have a GitHub account
Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
- Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce the bug.
- Include what Python version and operating system you are using.
Fork the repository on GitHub

Making Changes

Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
- This is usually the master branch.
- Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
- To quickly create a topic branch based on master; git checkout -b fix/develop/my_contribution master. Please avoid working directly on the master branch for anything other than trivial changes.
Make commits of logical units.
Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.
Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
Run all the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

Submitting Changes

Merge the topic branch into master and push to your fork of the repository.
Submit a pull request to the repository in the pythonnet organization.
After feedback has been given we expect responses within two weeks. After two weeks we may close the pull request if it isn't showing any activity.
