# Contributing to MeshCore
|
|
|
|
Thanks for considering contributing to this project!
|

|
## How Can I Contribute?
|
|
|
|
### 1. Reporting Bugs
|
|
- Use the **Issues** tracker
|
|
- Use a clear title (e.g. "Crash when calling begin() with invalid pin")
|
|
- Describe the **exact steps** to reproduce
|
|
- Include your **board**, **IDE version**, **library version** and **relevant code snippet**
|
|
- Attach minimal complete example sketch if possible
|
|
|
|
### 2. Suggesting Enhancements / New Features
|
|
- Open an issue with the prefix **[Feature request]**
|
|
- Explain the use-case → what problem would this solve?
|
|
- Describe your ideal API / behavior (code examples are very helpful)
|
|
|
|
### 3. Submitting Code Changes (Pull Requests)
|
|
|
|
#### Small fixes (typos, comments, examples, small bug fixes)
|
|
→ Just open a pull request — no prior issue needed
|
|
|
|
#### Larger changes / new features
|
|
1. Open an issue first to discuss the idea
|
|
2. Get a rough 👍 from maintainer(s)
|
|
3. Fork the repo from 'dev' branch and create your branch (`fix/xxx`, `feature/yyy`, `docs/whatever`)
|
|
4. Make your changes
|
|
5. Update or add examples when appropriate
|
|
6. Add/update comments in code
|
|
7. Submit the pull request
|
|
|
|
### Pull Request Guidelines
|
|
|
|
- **One feature / fix = one pull request** (smaller PRs are easier & faster to review)
|
|
- Use descriptive commit messages
|
|
- Good: `Fix I2C timeout handling on ESP32`
|
|
- Bad: `update`
|
|
- Reference any related issue (`Fixes #123`, `Closes #89`, etc.)
|
|
- If you change public API, update README.md and library.properties
|
|
- New features should include an example sketch in `examples/`
|
|
|
|
## Coding Style
|
|
|
|
PLease follow the existing C++ style (per the .clang-format)
|
|
|
|
- 2 spaces indentation (no tabs)
|
|
- `camelCase` for functions and variables
|
|
- `UpperCamelCase` / `PascalCase` for class names
|
|
- `#define` constants in `ALL_CAPS`
|
|
- Keep lines < ~100 characters when reasonable
|
|
|
|
(But consistency with existing code is more important than strict rules)
|
|
