Contribution Process ​

To contribute to SystemCAERUS, follow these general steps:

  1. Fork the Repository: Start by forking the SystemCAERUS repository to your own GitHub account.

  2. Clone the Repository: Clone the forked repository to your local development environment using the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/SystemCAERUS.git

  3. Create a Branch: Create a new branch for your contribution. It is recommended to give the branch a descriptive name that reflects the nature of your contribution.

    git checkout -b my-contribution

  4. Make Changes: Implement the desired changes or additions to the codebase. Ensure that your changes adhere to the project's coding conventions and best practices.

  5. Test Locally: Test your changes locally to ensure they function as intended. Run the necessary tests and perform any required debugging.

  6. Commit and Push: Commit your changes with a clear and concise commit message explaining the purpose of your contribution. Then, push the changes to your forked repository.

    git commit -m "Add my contribution"
git push origin my-contribution

  7. Create a Pull Request: Navigate to the original SystemCAERUS repository on GitHub and create a pull request (PR) from your branch. Provide a detailed description of your contribution and any relevant information or context.

  8. Review and Iterate: The project maintainers will review your PR and provide feedback. Address any requested changes or improvements iteratively. Engage in discussion and collaborate with the maintainers to refine your contribution.
