Submitting pull requests​

Please follow these basic steps to simplify pull request reviews. If you don't you'll probably just be asked to anyway.

  • Please rebase your branch against the current beta branch.
  • Follow the Setup steps above to make sure your development dependencies are up-to-date.
  • Please ensure the test suite passes before submitting a PR.
  • If you've added new functionality, please include tests which validate its behavior.
  • Make reference to possible issues on PR comment.
  • PRs may include multiple commits. However, please keep content of all commits related. Raise separate PRs for disjoint changes.

Submitting new features​

  • We value keeping the API surface small and concise, which factors into whether new features are accepted.
  • Submit an issue with the prefix Feature: with your feature request. Use the RFC: prefix for a large feature with bigger impact to the codebase.
  • The feature will be discussed and considered.
  • After the PR is submitted, reviewed and approved, it will be merged.
