## Contributing
Hi there! We're thrilled that you'd like to contribute to this project. Your help is essential for keeping it great.
Contributions to this project are [released](https://docs.github.com/en/github/site-policy/github-terms-of-service#6-contributions-under-repository-license)
to the public under the [GPL-3.0 License](https://github.com/AnonymusRaccoon/Kyoo/blob/master/LICENSE).
## Submitting a pull request
1. [Fork](https://github.com/AnonymusRaccoon/Kyoo/fork) and clone the repository
2. Install the toolstack and/or download precompiled binaries for the transcoder (see [Development & Build](https://github.com/AnonymusRaccoon/Kyoo#development--build))
3. Create a new branch: `git checkout -b my-branch-name`
4. Make your changes (Please try to follow the same coding style as what has already been made - indent with tabs, align with spaces etc)
5. Make sure the tests pass: `dotnet tests`
6. Push to your fork and [submit a pull request](https://github.com/AnonymusRaccoon/Kyoo/compare)
7. Pat your self on the back and wait for your pull request to be reviewed and merged.
Here are a few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:
- Write tests.
- Make sure the `README.md` and any other relevant **documentation are kept up-to-date**.
- We try to follow [SemVer v2.0.0](https://semver.org/). Randomly breaking public APIs is not an option.
- Keep your change as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as **separate pull requests**.
- Write a [good commit message](http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html).
