-
Create a pull request for simple problems.
-
Otherwise open a new issue with steps to reproduce.
-
Before contributing, please, make yourself familiar with git. You can try git online. Things would be easier for all of us if you do your changes on a branch. Use a single commit for every logical reviewable change, without unrelated modifications (that will help us if need to revert a particular commit). Please avoid adding commits fixing your previous commits, do amend or rebase instead.
-
Every Pull Request must contain test or a good justification why the test part is not included.
-
If you believe that it is not necessary to add a test because there is already a test going through the statements you have modified, you are probably wrong because you either added something new and it should be tested or you fixed a bug which was not detected by the test and hence the test must be enhanced (ideally, you fist fix the test to reproduce the bug and then you fix the bug).
-
Link commits to issues via referencing issue numbers: https://help.github.com/en/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords
-
Every commit must have either comprehensive commit message saying what is being changed and why or a link (an issue number on Github) to a bug report where this information is available. It is also useful to include notes about negative decisions - i.e. why you decided to not do particular things. Please bare in mind that other developers might not understand what the original problem was.
-
Try to follow the seven rules when writing commit messages: https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/
-
If you are not sure how to write a good commit message, go through the project history to find some inspiration.

Update CHANGELOG.md (Unreleased section)
Changes that are cosmetic in nature and do not add anything substantial to the stability, functionality, or testability of PyOData will generally not be accepted.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
- Focusing on what is best for the community
- Showing empathy towards other community members
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project's leadership.
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
