Contribution
============
2014-01-11 14:41:05 +00:00
If you'd like to contribute to Ethereum Go please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
2014-02-15 10:49:29 +00:00
are ignored. If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
To make life easier try [git flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) it sets
this all up and streamlines your work flow.
2014-01-11 14:41:05 +00:00
Coding standards
================
Sources should be formatted according to the [Go Formatting
Style](http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting).
2014-03-30 20:03:29 +00:00
Unless structs fields are supposed to be directly accessible, provide
2014-01-11 14:41:05 +00:00
Getters and hide the fields through Go's exporting facility.
2014-01-16 10:00:56 +00:00
When you comment put meaningfull comments. Describe in detail what you
want to achieve.
2014-01-11 14:41:05 +00:00
*wrong*
```go
// Check if the value at x is greater than y
if x > y {
// It's greater!
}
```

Everyone reading the source probably know what you wanted to achieve
with above code. Those are **not** meaningful comments.
While the project isn't 100% tested I want you to write tests non the
less. I haven't got time to evaluate everyone's code in detail so I
expect you to write tests for me so I don't have to test your code
manually. (If you want to contribute by just writing tests that's fine
too!)
