How to Contribute

We're always looking for people to help make Radarr even better, there are a number of ways to contribute.

Documentation

Setup guides, FAQ, the more information we have on the wiki the better.

See the readme for information on setting up your development environment.

If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please comment on Github Issues so work is not duplicated (If you want to add something not already on there, please talk to us first)
Rebase from Radarr'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)

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 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.
