##### Any opinion is welcome.
##### Feel free to discuss in the [discussions] section.
##### Feel free report issues in the [issues] section.
### Code Free Contributions
#### There are multiple ways you can add to the guide:
- You can [submit bugs and feature requests](https://github.com/AnonyPla-ng/thgtoa/issues/new) with detailed information about your issue or idea:
- If you'd like to propose an addition, please follow the standards outlined here.
- If you're reporting an issue, please be sure to include the expected behaviour, the observed behaviour, and steps to reproduce the problem.
- This can require technical knowledge, but you can also get involved in conversations about bug reports and feature requests. This is a great way to get involved without getting too overwhelmed!
- [Help fellow committers test recently submitted pull requests](https://github.com/AnonyPla-ng/thgtoa/pulls). Simply by pulling down a pull request and testing it, you can help ensure our new code contributions for stability and quality.
### Content Contributions
For those of you who are looking to add content to the guide, include the following:
##### <u>Pull Requests</u>
- **Do** create a [topic branch] to work on instead of working directly on `master`. This helps to:
- Protect the process.
- Ensures users are aware of commits on the branch being considered for merge.
- Allows for a location for more commits to be offered without mingling with other contributor changes.
- Allows contributors to make progress while a PR is still being reviewed.
- **Do** follow the [50/72 rule] for Git commit messages.
- **Do** write "WIP" on your PR and/or open a [draft PR] if submitting unfinished changes..
- **Do** make sure the title of a draft PR makes it immediately clear that it's a draft
- **Do** target your pull request to the **master branch**.
- **Do** specify a descriptive title to make searching for your pull request easier.
- **Don't** leave your pull request description blank.
- **Don't** abandon your pull request. Being responsive helps us land your changes faster.
- **Don't** post questions in older closed PRs.
- **Do** stick to the guide to find common style issues.
When reporting guide issues:
- **Do** write a detailed description of your issue and use a descriptive title.
- **Do** make it as detailed as possible and don't just submit 50 line changes without explaining.
- **Don't** file duplicate reports; search for your bug before filing a new report.
- **Don't** attempt to report issues on a closed PR.
### Large PRs
Please split large sets of changes into multiple PRs. For example, a PR that adds Windows 11 support, removes Windows AME references, and fixes typos can be split into 3 PRs. This makes PRs easier to review prior to merging.
**Thank you** for taking the few moments to read this far! You're already way ahead of the
curve, so keep it up!
