# How to Contribute #
We're always looking for people to help make Sonarr even better, there are a number of ways to contribute.
## Documentation ##
Setup guides, FAQ, the more information we have on the wiki the better.
## Development ##
### Tools required ###
- Visual Studio 2013
- HTML/Javascript editor of choice (Sublime Text/Webstorm/etc)
- npm (node package manager)
- git
### Getting started ###
1. Fork Sonarr
2. Clone (develop branch) *you may need pull in submodules separately if you client doesn't clone them automatically (CurlSharp)*
3. Run `npm install`
4. Run `gulp watch` - Used to compile the UI components and copy them (leave this window open)
5. Compile in Visual Studio
### Contributing Code ###
- If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please comment on [Github Issues](https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues "Github Issues") so work is not duplicated (If you want to add something not already on there, please talk to us first)
- Rebase from Sonarr's develop branch, don't merge
- Make meaningful commits, or squash them
- Feel free to make a pull request before work is complete, this will let us see where its at and make comments/suggest improvements
- Reach out to us on the forums or on IRC if you have any questions
- Add tests (unit/integration)
- Commit with *nix line endings for consistency (We checkout Windows and commit *nix)
- One feature/bug fix per pull request to keep things clean and easy to understand
- Use 4 spaces instead of tabs, this is the default for VS 2012 and WebStorm (to my knowledge)
### Pull Requesting ###
- Only make pull requests to develop, never master, if you make a PR to master we'll comment on it and close it
- You're probably going to get some comments or questions from us, they will be to ensure consistency and maintainability
- We'll try to respond to pull requests as soon as possible, if its been a day or two, please reach out to us, we may have missed it
- Each PR should come from its own [feature branch](http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FeatureBranch.html) not develop in your fork, it should have a meaningful branch name (what is being added/fixed)
- new-feature (Good)
- fix-bug (Good)
- patch (Bad)
- develop (Bad)
If you have any questions about any of this, please let us know.
