Before you make a substantial pull request, you should always file an issue and make sure someone from the team agrees that it’s a problem. If you’ve found a bug, create an associated issue and illustrate the bug with a minimal reprex.
- We recommend that you create a Git branch for each pull request (PR).
- Look at the Travis and AppVeyor build status before and after making changes (visible in README).
- We recommend the tidyverse style guide.
- We use roxygen2.
- We use testthat. Contributions with test cases included are easier to accept.
- For user-facing changes, add a bullet to the top of
NEWS.md
below the current development version header describing the changes made followed by your GitHub username, and links to relevant issue(s)/PR(s).
