👍🎉 Hi there! We're thrilled that you'd like to contribute to this project. Your help is essential for keeping it great. 🎉👍
The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to EVIDEN Actions, which are hosted in the eviden-actions organization on GitHub. These are mostly guidelines, not rules. Use your best judgment, and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.
This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the Atom Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.
Note: Please don't file an issue to ask a question. You'll get faster results by using the resources below.
We have an official message board where the community chimes in with helpful advice if you have questions.
This section guides you through submitting a bug report for EVIDEN Actions. Following these guidelines helps maintainers and the community understand your report 📝, reproduce the behavior 💻 💻, and find related reports 🔎.
Before creating bug reports, please check this list as you might find out that you don't need to create one. When you are creating a bug report, please include as many details as possible. Fill out the required template, the information it asks for helps us resolve issues faster.
Note: If you find a Closed issue that seems like it is the same thing that you're experiencing, open a new issue and include a link to the original issue in the body of your new one.
- Check the discussions for a list of common questions and problems.
- Determine which repository the problem should be reported in.
- Perform a [cursory search](https://github.com/search?q=+is%3Aissue+org%3Aeviden-actions to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has and the issue is still open, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
Bugs are tracked as GitHub issues. After you've determined which repository your bug is related to, create an issue on that repository and provide the following information by filling in the template.
Explain the problem and include additional details to help maintainers reproduce the problem:
- Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the problem.
- Describe the exact steps which reproduce the problem in as many details as possible. For example, start by explaining how you use EVIDEN Actions, e.g. which command exactly you used, or how you included EVIDEN Actions otherwise. When listing steps, don't just say what you did, but explain how you did it.
- Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps. Include links to files or GitHub projects, or copy/pasteable snippets, which you use in those examples. If you're providing snippets in the issue, use Markdown code blocks.
- Describe the behavior you observed after following the steps and point out what exactly is the problem with that behavior.
- Explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.
- Include screenshots and animated GIFs which show you following the described steps and clearly demonstrate the problem. You can use this tool to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.
Provide more context by answering these questions:
- Can you reproduce the problem?
- Did the problem start happening recently (e.g. after updating to a new version of EVIDEN Actions) or was this always a problem?
- If the problem started happening recently, can you reproduce the problem in an older version of EVIDEN Actions? What's the most recent version in which the problem doesn't happen?
- Can you reliably reproduce the issue? If not, provide details about how often the problem happens and under which conditions it normally happens.
Include details about your configuration and environment:
- Which version of EVIDEN Actions are you using?
- What's the name and version of the OS you're using?
This section guides you through submitting an enhancement suggestion for EVIDEN Actions, including completely new features and minor improvements to existing functionality. Following these guidelines helps maintainers and the community understand your suggestion 📝 and find related suggestions 🔎.
Before creating enhancement suggestions, please check this list as you might find out that you don't need to create one. When you are creating an enhancement suggestion, please include as many details as possible. Fill in the correct template for feature request and enhancement, including the steps that you imagine you would take if the feature you're requesting existed.
- Determine which repository the enhancement should be suggested in.
- Perform a [cursory search](https://github.com/search?q=+is%3Aissue+org%3Aeviden-actions to see if the enhancement has already been suggested. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one.
Enhancement suggestions are tracked as GitHub issues. After you've determined which repository your enhancement suggestion is related to, create an issue on that repository and provide the following information:
- Use a clear and descriptive title for the issue to identify the suggestion.
- Provide a step-by-step description of the suggested enhancement in as many details as possible.
- Provide specific examples to demonstrate the steps. Include copy/pasteable snippets which you use in those examples, as Markdown code blocks.
- Describe the current behavior and explain which behavior you expected to see instead and why.
- Include screenshots and animated GIFs which help you demonstrate the steps or point out the part of EVIDEN Actions which the suggestion is related to. You can use this tool to record GIFs on macOS and Windows, and this tool or this tool on Linux.
- Explain why this enhancement would be useful to most EVIDEN Actions users and isn't something that can or should be implemented as a community package.
- List some other design systems or applications where this enhancement exists.
- Specify which version of EVIDEN Actions are you using?
- Specify the name and version of the OS you're using.
Unsure where to begin contributing to EVIDEN Actions? You can start by looking through these 🆘 help wanted issues:
The process described here has several goals:
- Maintain EVIDEN Actions's quality
- Fix problems that are important to users
- Engage the community in working toward the best possible EVIDEN Actions
- Enable a sustainable system for EVIDEN Actions's maintainers to review contributions
Please follow these steps to have your contribution considered by the maintainers:
- Follow all instructions in the template
- Follow the styleguides
- Assign the issue(s) to yourself to avoid concurent work on the same task.
- Open the PR as soon as possible in status
Draftuntil it is ready for review. - After you submit your pull request, verify that all status checks are passing
What if the status checks are failing?
If a status check is failing, and you believe that the failure is unrelated to your change, please leave a comment on the pull request explaining why you believe the failure is unrelated. A maintainer will re-run the status check for you. If we conclude that the failure was a false positive, then we will open an issue to track that problem with our status check suite.
While the prerequisites above must be satisfied prior to having your pull request reviewed, the reviewer(s) may ask you to complete additional design work, tests, or other changes before your pull request can be ultimately accepted.
Here are a addit few things you can do that will increase the likelihood of your pull request being accepted:
- Read the contributing guidelines.
- Branch name follows Branching guidelines.
- Commits follows Commit guidelines.
- Write a good commit message.
- Write tests whenever applicable.
- Keep your change as focused as possible. If there are multiple changes you would like to make that are not dependent upon each other, consider submitting them as separate pull requests.

docs |
Documentation only changes |
feat |
A new feature |
fix |
A bug fix |
perf |
A code change that improves performance |
refactor |
A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature |
style |
Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc) |
test |
Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests |
chore |
Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm) |
