Making a pull request

When you want to contribute a feature or a bug fix to aiida_core:

1. Does your bug fix or feature have a corresponding GitHub issue? If not, open one!
2. Is it a bug fix or a feature?
   • bug fix: goes into the latest release branch, e.g. release_v0.12.3.
   • feature: goes into the develop branch
3. Check out the correct branch locally:

    git checkout release_vX.Y.Z
    git pull origin release_vX.Y.Z

4. Create a new issue branch using the following naming convention:

    git checkout -b issue_1234_short_description_of_issue

5. Add your changes and commit them to your issue branch.
   • If it's a new feature, add tests
6. When all commits are in place, push your local branch to your fork

    git push fork issue_1234_short_description_of_issue

7. Create a pull request on GitHub from the branch in your fork to the correct release branch of aiidateam/aiida_core

Etiquette

• Open your pull request only once you believe your changes are ready to be merged.
  If you keep pushing changes to an open PR, developers are flooded with emails.
