Your First Contribution

We’re excited to have you contribute! Whether you want to fix bugs, add features, optimize code, or suggest improvements, your contribution is valuable. Here’s how to get started:

  • Pick any existing issue from our Issues page. Feel free to comment on the issue to let others know you’re working on it.
  • If you find something that can be improved (code quality, performance, etc.), you’re free to improve it.
  • Want to add a feature? Suggest it and implement it! Your ideas are welcome.
  • Don’t be shy if you’re a beginner — even the smallest improvements are helpful.

You can also improve existing code by submitting optimizations or refactoring parts of the project. We appreciate any contribution, no matter how small!

Suggesting Enhancements

Have an idea to make Project OSUS better? Enhancements and new features are a great way to contribute.

  • Browse through the existing enhancements to see if someone has already suggested a similar feature.
  • If not, open a new issue with a clear and descriptive title.
  • Explain your idea, the current behavior, and what improvement or feature you'd like to see.
  • If possible, include a step-by-step explanation, and feel free to include any examples or code snippets.

Your ideas might inspire new features that benefit many users!

Reporting Bugs

If you encounter any bugs or issues while working with Project OSUS, please report them to help us improve the project. Here’s how:

  • Make sure you’re using the latest version of the project.
  • Look through existing issues to see if the bug has already been reported.
  • If the bug hasn’t been reported, open a new issue.
  • Include as much detail as possible — platform information (e.g., OS, versions), how to reproduce the issue, and any logs or error messages that help.

Please provide clear steps to reproduce the issue. This makes it easier for the maintainers to address and fix it!

Improving Documentation and Non-Tech Contributions

Not a developer? No worries — you can still contribute in many other ways:

  • Improving the documentation: If you spot any missing or outdated info in our documentation, feel free to update it.
  • Enhancing the README: The README is a key part of helping others understand the project, so your contributions here are valuable.
  • Suggesting edits or writing for clarity: Help make our guides clearer for others by improving explanations and instructions.

If you find any area in need of improvement, feel free to submit a pull request.

Styleguides

  • Follow the guidelines for commit messages. Make them clear and descriptive.
  • Ensure your code is clean and readable. Simplicity is key.
  • Use proper formatting for documentation updates.
