Contribution Guidelines

Thank you for contributing to winapps! Before you can contribute, we ask some things of you:

  • Please follow our Code of Conduct, the Contributor Covenant. You can find a copy in this repository or under https://www.contributor-covenant.org/
  • All Contributors have to sign a Developer Certificate of Origin, agreeing to license their contribution under the AGPLv3. Historically, we used to require a CLA because we had to relicense the codebase from ARR to AGPLv3; however, this is being phased out. You can find a copy of the DCO below or under https://developercertificate.org/.
  • Please follow code conventions enforced by pre-commit. To keep down CI usage, please run it locally before committing too. See https://pre-commit.com for installation, then run pre-commit install inside the winapps repository you cloned.
