## Contributing

Before contributing, please, make yourself familiar with git. You can [try git
online](https://try.github.io/). Things would be easier for all of us if you do
your changes on a branch. Use a single commit for every logical reviewable
change, without unrelated modifications (that will help us if need to revert a
particular commit). Please avoid adding commits fixing your previous
commits, do amend or rebase instead.

Every commit must have either comprehensive commit message saying what is being
changed and why or a link (an issue number on Github) to a bug report where
this information is available. It is also useful to include notes about
negative decisions - i.e. why you decided to not do particular things. Please
bare in mind that other developers might not understand what the original
problem was.

### Full example

Here's an example workflow for a project `PyOData` hosted on Github
Your username is `yourname` and you're submitting a basic bugfix or feature.

* Hit 'fork' on Github, creating e.g. `yourname/PyOData`.
* `git clone [e-mail]:yourname/PyOData`
* `git checkout -b foo_the_bars` to create new local branch named foo_the_bars
* Hack, hack, hack
* Run `python -m pytest` or `make check`
* `git status`
* `git add`
* `git commit -s -m "Foo the bars"`
* `git push -u origin HEAD` to create foo_the_bars branch in your fork
* Visit your fork at Github and click handy "Pull request" button.
* In the description field, write down issue number (if submitting code fixing
an existing issue) or describe the issue + your fix (if submitting a wholly
new bugfix).
* Hit 'submit'! And please be patient - the maintainers will get to you when
they can.
