## Filing a GitHub issue
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Reporting a bug
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you think you have found a bug and would like to report it, here are the steps you should take:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Before opening a new issue, ensure your bug has not already been reported on the [GitHub Issues page](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues).
|
||
|
|
- On the issue tracker, click on [New Issue](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/new).
|
||
|
|
- Include details about your environment, such as your Operating System and SDL version.
|
||
|
|
- If possible, provide a small example that reproduces your bug.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Suggesting enhancements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want to suggest changes for the project, here are the steps you should take:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Check if the suggestion has already been made on:
|
||
|
|
- the [issue tracker](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues);
|
||
|
|
- the [discourse forum](https://discourse.libsdl.org/);
|
||
|
|
- or if a [pull request](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/pulls) already exists.
|
||
|
|
- On the issue tracker, click on [New Issue](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/new).
|
||
|
|
- Describe what change you would like to happen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Contributing code
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This section will cover how the process of forking the project, making a change and opening a pull request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Forking the project
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first step consists in making a fork of the project, this is only necessary for the first contribution.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Head over to https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL and click on the `Fork` button in the top right corner of your screen, you may leave the fields unchanged and click `Create Fork`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will be redirected to your fork of the repository, click the green `Code` button and copy the git clone link.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you had already forked the repository, you may update it from the web page using the `Fetch upstream` button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Following the style guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Code formatting is done using a custom `.clang-format` file, you can learn more about how to run it [here](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some legacy code may not be formatted, as such avoid formatting the whole file at once and only format around your changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For your commit message to be properly displayed on GitHub, it should contain:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A short description of the commit of 50 characters or less on the first line.
|
||
|
|
- If necessary, add a blank line followed by a long description, each line should be 72 characters or less.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Fix crash in SDL_FooBar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This addresses the issue #123456 by making sure Foo was successful
|
||
|
|
before calling Bar.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Running the tests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Tests allow you to verify if your changes did not break any behaviour, here are the steps to follow:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Before pushing, run the `testautomation` suite on your machine, there should be no more failing tests after your change than before.
|
||
|
|
- After pushing to your fork, Continuous Integration (GitHub Actions) will ensure compilation and tests still pass on other systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Opening a pull request
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Head over to your fork's GitHub page.
|
||
|
|
- Click on the `Contribute` button and `Open Pull Request`.
|
||
|
|
- Fill out the pull request template.
|
||
|
|
- If any changes are requested, you can add new commits to your fork and they will be automatically added to the pull request.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Contributing to the documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Editing a function documentation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The wiki documentation for API functions is synchronised from the headers' doxygen comments. As such, all modifications to syntax; function parameters; return value; version; related functions should be done in the header directly.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Editing the wiki
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes to the wiki should done directly from https://wiki.libsdl.org/
