Amaze was created with a vision to provide all the basic and advanced features a file manager in Android is supposed to have, with a friendly material design.
|
|
As with any other open source project, contributions are the key to achieve this goal of ours.
|
|
|
|
Contributions are always welcome!
|
|
|
|
To start contributing, we assume you know how to use git and write and debug Android apps - don't expect we can teach you ;)
|
|
|
|
Please keep in mind the points below before considering contributing to Amaze:
|
|
- Make sure to write your name and Email-ID in format ````Name<email>```` in the license declaration above every file you make change to.
|
|
You won't be able to claim the license for changes made by you unless you do that.
|
|
If there's no license header in any file, please include one from [GNU GPL v3](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html) webpage.
|
|
- Please follow [Android/JAVA code style](https://source.android.com/source/code-style.html) for writing any code, but do not use the Hungarian notation proposed - discussion [here](https://github.com/TeamAmaze/AmazeFileManager/issues/986).
|
|
Also, follow [Android Material Design guidelines](https://material.io/guidelines/material-design/introduction.html) in case you make changes to any UI element.
|
|
- To file a bug report, it is recommended to include the steps to reproduce it; and even better, it helps us a lot if you can capture the error messages in logcat too
|
|
It is also recommended to enroll to our beta program from Play Store to test and verify any fix for the same.
|
|
|
|
We work with pull requests, so, for improvements, new features or bugfixes, please submit your changes as pull requests.
|
|
We will then:
|
|
|
|
1. start review of your code for cleanliness and robustness
|
|
2. test them to see if they work as you said
|
|
3. merge the pull request
|
|
|
|
To speed up the review process, please:
|
|
|
|
- write your code cleanly. We also have our day time work, we are not able to correct the mistakes in your code
|
|
- describe clearly what your pull request does
|
|
- if you're fixing a particular bug in the issue list, please explicitly say "Fixes #<issue number>" in your description
|
|
- while not required (because automated tests can't test everything), it's recommended you to include [Robolectric](http://robolectric.org/)/[Espresso](https://developer.android.com/training/testing/espresso/) tests in your pull request
|
|
|
|
Finally:
|
|
|
|
- we have our day time work, so except security vulnerabilities, your submission may be left cold for a couple of days before being picked up by us
|
|
- it's good to start a new branch to start your work. Not just for a shiny branch name, but also for your own good
|
|
- we can be harsh when reviewing your work but because we want to have good code in our codebase. Be patient and carefully read our comments
|
|
- we can be wrong. Again, be patient when discuss with us - we accept reason, but we never accept hate speech
|
|
