The easiest way to add a new feature is to use github's online file editor and create a new pull request from there.
- Create a new file in the
featuresfolder and name it to reflect the feature name. The filename should end with the.mdextension, be short, be descriptive, be lowercase, and use-dashes-for-spaces. - Copy the contents feature-template.md into the file.
- Fill as many values (documented below) as possible in
<the-feature>.md. - Create a pull request from the online editor, or if you're using git from the command line follow the usual steps for making a pull request.
