# Contributing Guide
|
|
|
|
**Working on your first Pull Request?** You can learn how from this *free* series [How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub][First PR]
|
|
|
|
## How to contribute
|
|
|
|
* Fork the project from the `master` branch and submit a Pull Request (PR)
|
|
* Explain what the PR fixes or improves
|
|
* Screenshots for bonus points
|
|
* Use sensible commit messages
|
|
* If your PR fixes a separate issue number, include it in the commit message
|
|
* Use a sensible number of commit messages as well
|
|
* e.g. Your PR should not have 100s of commits
|
|
|
|
## Steps for adding a new font or removing an existing font
|
|
|
|
* For removal of a font skip to [Step #4](#4-run-build-scripts)
|
|
|
|
### 1. Verify license
|
|
* Check the license even allows the font to be modified and shared
|
|
### 2. Add original (unpatched) version
|
|
* Add the unpatched version of the font and any readme and/or license files to the `unpatched-sample-fonts` directory inside a new directory
|
|
* e.g. Adding *XYZ Font*, create directory `src/unpatched-fonts/xyz/{PUT FONT FILES HERE}`
|
|
* Try to make subfolders for each font style (e.g. `src/unpatched-fonts/xyz/bold/{BOLD FONT FILES HERE}`)
|
|
### 3. Execute basic testing
|
|
* Do a basic test with the new font to ensure it patches correctly and generates a new font file, e.g.
|
|
* `./font-patcher src/unpatched-fonts/XYZ/XYZ.ttf --complete`
|
|
* Make sure to then delete this new font file if it is in the repository (all patched fonts should be generated in the `patched-fonts` directory)
|
|
### 4. Run build scripts
|
|
* When fairly satisfied the font patches correctly, run the following scripts in this order:
|
|
* Copy all the unpatched readmes to the patched location with additional info on variations appended:
|
|
* `./standardize-and-complete-readmes.sh`
|
|
* Patch **all** of the variations/options, e.g.
|
|
* `./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh XYZ`
|
|
### 5. Update readme
|
|
* Add the new font to the table of [Patched Fonts][]
|
|
* Update the "counts" in the [Features Section][]
|
|
* You can get this information by simply passing a second param to the "all patcher": `./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh "" info`
|
|
* "`X` already patched font families" -> Give exact number from 'typefaces' line
|
|
* "Over `X` unique combinations/variations..." -> round down to nearest hundred from 'variation' line
|
|
* "Over `X` glyphs/icons combined" -> manual process for now (@todo)
|
|
* Update the "counts" in the [Combinations Section][]
|
|
* Again, get this info from the "all patcher"
|
|
|
|
## Things to keep in mind
|
|
|
|
* Smaller Pull Requests are likely to be merged more quickly than bigger changes
|
|
* This project is using a [KISS Workflow][]
|
|
* Pull Requests and bugfixes are directly merged into `master` after sanity testing
|
|
* `master` is basically consider the main developer branch
|
|
* We no longer wait to get changes into master when there is a release/milestone/version!
|
|
* the release branches and version tags are considered stable and frozen
|
|
* This project is using [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](http://semver.org/)
|
|
* If a bugfix or PR is *not* trivial it will likely end up in the next **MINOR** version
|
|
* If a bugfix or PR *is* trivial *or* critical it will likely end up in the next **PATCH** version
|
|
* Useful Pull Requests **will** get merged in eventually
|
|
* [E.g. see how many have already been merged vs. still open][pulls]
|
|
|
|
## Commit messages
|
|
|
|
* Squashing to 1 commit is **not** required at this time
|
|
* Use sensible commit messages (when in doubt: `git log`)
|
|
* Use a sensible number of commit messages
|
|
* If your PR fixes a specific issue number, include it in the commit message: `"Fixes XYZ error (fixes #123)"`
|
|
|
|
## Code standards
|
|
|
|
### Shell Scripts
|
|
|
|
* Follow [ShellCheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck) - A shell script static analysis tool
|
|
* Try to follow [Google's Shell Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/shell.xml)
|
|
|
|
### Python
|
|
|
|
* Use 4 spaces for indentation
|
|
* Consider PEP8 and other (@todo)
