CONTRIBUTING.md

Contributing / participating

Contributing / participating is always welcome!

Please note the following:

• Please read the coding convention.
• If you have something new and/or bigger which you like to contribute, better open an issue first before you get frustrated.
• Please one pull request per feature or bug fix or improvement. Please do not mix issues.
• Documentation pays off in the long run. So please your document your code and the pull request and/or commit message.
• Please test your changes thoroughly as reliability is important for this project. You may want to check different servers with different settings.
• GitHub actions are running automatically when anything is committed. You should see any complains. Beforehand you can check with prove -v from the "root dir" of this project.
• If it's a new feature, please consider writing a unit test for it. You can use e.g. t/10_baseline_ipv4_http.t or t/61_diff_testsslsh.t as a template. The general documentation for Test::More is a good start.
• If it's a new feature, it would need to be documented in the appropriate section in help() and in ~/doc/testssl.1.md

If you're interested in contributing and wonder how you can help, you can search for different tags in the issues (somewhat increasing degree of difficulty):

• documentation
• good first issue
• help wanted
• for grabs

For questions just open an issue. Thanks for reading this!
