Thanks for your interest in StackButton and taking the time to contribute!
The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to StackButton. These are more like guidelines than rules and were adapted from the excellent document, Contributing to StackButton.
What should I know before I get started?
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to [email protected].
This section guides you through submitting a bug report for StackButton. Following these guidelines helps maintainers and the community understand your report, reproduce the behavior, and find related reports.
Before creating bug reports, please check this list as you might find out that you don't need to create one. When you are creating a bug report, please include as many details as possible. If you'd like, you can use this template to structure the information.
- Perform a cursory search to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
Bugs are tracked as GitHub issues. If you didn't find an existing issue for the problem you're experiencing, create an issue and provide the following information.
Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:
- Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the problem.
- Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem in as many details as possible.
- Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps. Include links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets, which you use in those examples. If you're providing snippets in the issue, use Markdown code blocks.
- Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.
- Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.
- Include screenshots and animated GIFs which show you following the described steps and clearly demonstrate the problem. You can use this tool to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.
- If the problem wasn't triggered by a specific action, describe what you were doing before the problem happened and share more information using the guidelines below.
Provide more context by answering these questions:
- Did the problem start happening recently (e.g. after updating to a new version of StackButton) or was this always a problem?
- If the problem started happening recently, can you reproduce the problem in an older version of StackButton? What's the most recent version in which the problem doesn't happen?
- Can you reliably reproduce the issue? If not, provide details about how often the problem happens and under which conditions it normally happens.
- If the problem is related to working with files (e.g. opening and editing files), does the problem happen for all files and projects or only some? Does the problem happen only when working with local or remote files (e.g. on network drives), with files of a specific type (e.g. only JavaScript or Python files), with large files or files with very long lines, or with files in a specific encoding? Is there anything else special about the files you are using?
Include details about your configuration and environment:
- Which version of StackButton are you using?
- What's the name and version of the OS you're using?
- Are you running StackButton in a virtual machine? If so, which VM software are you using and which operating systems and versions are used for the host and the guest?
- Are you running StackButton in docker? If so, which version of docker are you using, and what command line are you using to run StackButton?
