There are two primary ways to help:
- Using the issue tracker, and…
- Changing the codebase.
Use the issue tracker to suggest feature requests, report bugs, and ask questions. This is also a great way to connect with the developers of the project as well as others who are interested in this solution.
Use the issue tracker to find ways to contribute. Find a bug or a feature, mention in the issue that you will take on that effort, then follow the Changing the codebase guidance below.
If you are a contributor from outside of CFPB, you should fork this repository, make changes in your own fork, and then submit a pull request.
If you are a contributor within CFPB, you may also fork, or follow our documentation for branching.
For timely code reviews of pull requests, please tag @cfpb/cfgov-backends and @cfpb/cfgov-frontends as appropriate for your changes.
All new code should have associated unit tests and/or functional tests that validate implemented features and the presence or lack of defects. The overall test coverage of the codebase should not decrease.
Python code is expected to follow PEP8 and not commit atrocities. JavaScript, CSS/SCSS, and markup should follow our front-end standards. When in doubt, mimic the styles and patterns in the existing codebase.
