Contribute

PyForbes is a open-source project hosted at Github. The project actively encourages aspiring and experienced users to dive in and add their best contribution to the project.

How can you contribute? Well, first search the project page to see if someone has already reported your issue.

Filing Bug Reports

If you find a bug, an issue where the product doesn’t behave as you expect, you may file a bug report at the project page. Be sure to include what your expectation was, what happened instead, details about your system that might be relevant, and steps that someone else could take to replicate your finding. The more detailed and exact your description, the better one of the volunteers on the project may be able to help resolve your issue.

Fixing Bugs

PyForbes might have open, reported issues. Feel free to find one that you think you can solve or introduce yourself and ask for guidance to the previous contributors.

As you work through the issue and commit changes to your clone of the repository, be sure to add issue references to your changes (like “Fixes #999” or “Ref #999”) so your changes link to the issue and vice-versa.
