Contributing

This document provides guidelines for people who want to contribute to the django-adobesign project.

Create tickets

Please use django-adobesign bugtracker before starting some work:

check if the bug or feature request has already been filed. It may have been answered too!
else create a new ticket.
if you plan to contribute, tell us, so that we are given an opportunity to give feedback as soon as possible.
Then, in your commit messages, reference the ticket with some refs #TICKET-ID syntax.

Work in branches.
Prefix your branch with the ticket ID corresponding to the issue. As an example, if you are working on ticket #23 which is about contribute documentation, name your branch like 23-contribute-doc.
If you work in a development branch and want to refresh it with changes from master, please rebase [1] or merge-based rebase [2], i.e. do not merge master.
