# Contributing

​

Contributions are **welcome** and will be fully **credited**.

​

We accept contributions via pull requests on [Github].

Please make all pull requests to the `develop` branch, not the `master` branch.

​

## Pull Requests

​

- **Create an issue** - Explain as detailed as possible the issue you encountered so we can understand the context of your pull request

- **[Symfony Coding Standard]** - The easiest way to apply the conventions is to run `composer lint`

- **Add tests!** - Your patch won't be accepted if it doesn't have tests.

- **Document any change in behaviour** - Make sure the `README.md` and any other relevant documentation are kept up-to-date.

- **Consider our release cycle** - We try to follow [SemVer v2.0.0](http://semver.org/). Randomly breaking public APIs is not an option.

- **Create feature branches** - Don't ask us to pull from your master branch.

- **One pull request per feature** - If you want to do more than one thing, send multiple pull requests.

- **Send coherent history** - Make sure each individual commit in your pull request is meaningful. If you had to make multiple intermediate commits while developing, please squash them before submitting.

​

## Running Tests

​

``` bash

$ composer test

```

​

**Happy coding**!
