Detailed Process to Contribute

Here’s how you can participate:

Step 1: Choose an Issue

Visit our GitHub repository: Taipy GitHub Repository

Look for issues tagged with "hacktoberfest" and choose the issue that best matches your skills and interests.

Step 2: Fork the Repository

Once you’ve selected an issue, start by forking the Taipy repository to your GitHub account. This creates a copy of the repository that you can work on without affecting the original codebase.

Step 3: Clone Your Fork Locally

After forking, clone the repository to your local machine by running the following command in your terminal:

git clone <https://github.com/Avaiga/taipy.git>

Step 4: Create a New Branch

Always create a new branch for your work. It’s good practice to name your branch based on the issue you're working on. For example:

git checkout -b bug/#<issue#>-comment

Step 5: Work on the Issue

Start coding and solving the issue! Follow the guidelines mentioned in the issue, and make sure to test your changes locally. If you have any questions, feel free to ask for help in the issue’s comment section or reach out to our community.

Step 6: Commit & Push Your Changes

Once you’re satisfied with your work, commit your changes and push the branch to your fork:

git add .
git commit -m "description of the fix"
git push origin your-branch-name

Step 7: Submit a Pull Request (PR)

Go back to the original Taipy repository. You’ll see an option to submit a pull request. Make sure your PR description clearly references the issue you worked on and provides a brief explanation of what you fixed.

Important Guidelines

Choosing Issues Wisely

• Stick to issues labeled "hacktoberfest" and labeled with the number of points as well to ensure they count towards the event. New issues can be created, but 🚨🚨🚨 they must first be reviewed and approved by the Taipy team.
• If a newly created issue is not approved, it will be tagged as spam 🚨🚨🚨, it will not be labeled “hacktoberfest”, and any PR referencing it will be rejected.
• Many contributors can be assigned to one issue.
• A contributor can contribute to several issues.
• Points cannot be cumulated.

Tagging & Validation

• For any new issue created by contributors, it must be tagged with "hacktoberfest" by the Taipy team and assigned one of the three difficulty levels (Simple, Medium, or Difficult). So ask the team before solving, otherwise it won't be counted as a Hacktoberfest PR.
• Do not submit a PR on any issue until the Taipy team has validated it.

Individual or Team Participation

You can participate individually or as part of a team. However, if you choose to work with a team, please note that only one team member can submit a Pull Request (PR) using their GitHub account. Additionally, only one swag package will be shared among the entire team.

Following these guidelines will ensure that your contributions are valuable and recognized!
