#Contributing to Connect SDK
##General Questions
Please do not use GitHub issues for general questions about the SDK. Instead, use any of the following services to reach out to the development team:
- Twitter: @ConnectSDK
- Stack Overflow: Connect-SDK tag (or TV tag)
- [email protected]
##Versioning
We use semantic versioning in our tagged releases.
##Branching Strategy
We use the successful git branching model, except without release branches, and the develop
branch is named dev
.
##Bug Reports & Feature Requests
We use GitHub's issues system for managing bug reports and some upcoming features. Just open an issue and a member of the team will set the appropriate assignee, label, & milestone.
###Crash Reports
If you experience a crash, please attach your symbolicated crash log or stack trace to an issue in GitHub.
##Pull Requests
If you would like to submit code, please fork the repository on GitHub and develop in a feature branch, created from the latest dev
commit. We do not accept pull requests on the master
branch, as we only merge QA'd and tagged code into the master
branch.
###Tests
Please include unit/integration tests for the new/changed functionality with your pull request. It will help to verify the code is working as designed and make sure there are no regressions in future releases. Read more about our tests here: README.md#tests.
###Use of third party libraries
Connect SDK includes some third party libraries. If you'd like to integrate a library with a pull request, make sure that library has an open source license (MIT, Apache 2.0, etc).
###Licensing
If you submit a pull request, you acknowledge that your code will be released to the public under the Apache License, Version 2.0. Make sure that you have the rights to the code you are submitting in the pull request.
##Testing Lab
In the development of Connect SDK, we have gathered a number of devices for testing purposes. If you are contributing to and/or integrating Connect SDK and would like something tested in our lab, you may contact [email protected] with your request.
