\n\n# Contributing Guidelines for Linutil
Thank you for considering contributing to Linutil! We appreciate your effort in helping improve this project. To ensure that your contributions align with the goals and quality standards of Linutil, please follow these guidelines:
Have a clear reason: Don’t change the way things are done without a valid reason. If you propose an alteration, be prepared to explain why it’s necessary and how it improves the project.
Respect existing conventions: Changes should align with the existing code style, design patterns, and overall project philosophy. If you want to introduce a new way of doing things, justify it clearly.
Check merged PRs: Reviewing merged pull requests can give you an idea of what kind of contributions are accepted and how they are implemented.
Study rejected PRs: This is especially important as it helps you avoid making similar mistakes or proposing changes that have already been considered and declined.
Be descriptive: Your commit messages should clearly describe what the change does and why it was made.
Use the imperative mood: For example, "Add feature X" or "Fix bug in Y", rather than "Added feature X" or "Fixed bug in Y".
Keep commits clean: Avoid committing a change and then immediately following it with a fix for that change. Instead, amend your commit or squash it if needed.
7. Keep Your Pull Requests (PRs) Small and Focused¶
Make small, targeted PRs: Focus on one feature or fix per pull request. This makes it easier to review and increases the likelihood of acceptance.
Avoid combining unrelated changes: PRs that tackle multiple unrelated issues are harder to review and might be rejected because of a single problem.
Review your code: Before submitting your changes, take the time to review your code for readability, efficiency and performance. Consider how your changes affect the project.
Avoid using LLMs: Don't submit AI-generated code without reviewing and testing it first. Ensure that any code you submit is thoroughly understood and meets the project's standards.
Testing Requirements: Failure to conduct testing after multiple requests may result in the closure of your Pull Request.
Expect feedback: PRs will undergo code review. Be open to feedback and willing to make adjustments as needed.
Participate in reviews: If you feel comfortable, review other contributors' PRs as well. Peer review is a great way to learn and ensure high-quality contributions.
Test the tool: Running tests and providing feedback on how the tool works in different environments is a valuable contribution.
Write well-formed issues: Clearly describe bugs or problems you encounter, providing as much detail as possible, including steps to reproduce the issue.
Propose reasonable feature requests: When suggesting new features, ensure they fit within the scope, style, and design of the project. Provide clear reasoning and use cases.
Update the documentation: If your change affects the functionality, please update the relevant documentation files to reflect this.
Automatic generation: If you decide to add functionality through a new shell script, make sure to fill out all fields in tab_data.toml and run cargo xtask docgen.
