PythonNet is developed and maintained by unpaid community members so well written, documented and tested pull requests are encouraged.

• Make sure you have a GitHub account
• Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
  • Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
  • Make sure you include what Python version and operating system you are using.
• Fork the repository on GitHub

• Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
  • This is usually the develop branch.
  • Only target release branches if you are certain your fix must be on that branch.
  • To quickly create a topic branch based on develop; git checkout -b fix/develop/my_contribution develop. Please avoid working directly on the master branch.
• Make commits of logical units.
• Check for unnecessary whitespace with git diff --check before committing.
• Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format.
• Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
• Run all the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.

• Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
• Submit a pull request to the repository in the pythonnet organization.
• After feedback has been given we expect responses within two weeks. After two weeks we may close the pull request if it isn't showing any activity.
