How to Make Code Contributions

If you have code that you'd like to contribute the Jetpack project, follow these steps:

  1. Look for your issue in the bugs already filed
  2. If no bug exists, submit one
  3. Make your changes, per the Overview
  4. Write a test (intro, API)
  5. Submit pull request with changes and a title in a form of Bug XXX - description
  6. Copy the pull request link from GitHub and paste it in as an attachment to the bug
  7. Each pull request should idealy contain only one commit, so squash the commits if necessary.
  8. Flag the attachment for code review from one of the Jetpack reviewers listed below. This step is optional, but could speed things up.
  9. Address any nits (ie style changes), or other issues mentioned in the review.
  10. Finally, once review is approved, a team member will do the merging

For API and developer ergonomics review, ask @gozala.
