Contribute

Introduction

Fuel is a community driven framework and is open for contributions from anyone who feels they can improve it or add a feature that will bring the framework to a higher level. There are multiple forms in which this can be achieved. From writing tutorials, writing and releasing packages, to contributing to the official parts of Fuel (Core, Orm, Docs, etc..).

Fixing Bugs

When you encounter a bug or see one in the issues list that you can or have resolved, and you want to contribute it back to the framework. Use GitHub to send a pull request. Depending on which version you are running the branch you pull on. Follow the next couple of steps to when you request a pull:

Is my current version still supported?
If not, upgrade to a supported version and see if the bug is still exists.
Checkout your version on your local repository
$ git checkout -b 1.1/develop origin/1.1/develop or $ git checkout -b 1.0/develop origin/1.0/develop
Fix the bug and commit it in your local repository
Use a descriptive and understandable commit message $ git commit -m "This is my awesome description."
Push it to your GitHub account
$ git push
Request the pull
Request the pull on the same branch as you are on (or you based your branch off). A 1.0/develop branch request pulls on 1.0/develop, 1.1/develop on 1.1/develop and so on. Use the "update commit range" interface to direct you request to the correct branch.
Wait for your moment of fame
As soon as your request is merged you'll be part of the contributors list of Fame.

Non-bug contributions

Non-bug contributions are new features, optimizations and all other alterations. All of these request must be made on the latest development branch. So pull the latest version's dev branch, make the changes and request a pull.
