Thank you for your interest in contributing to Unity Robotics! To facilitate your contributions, we've outlined a brief set of guidelines to ensure that your extensions can be easily integrated.
First, please read through our code of conduct, as we expect all our contributors to follow it.
Second, before starting on a project that you intend to contribute to any of our Unity Robotics packages or tutorials, we strongly recommend posting on the repository's Issues page and briefly outlining the changes you plan to make. This will enable us to provide some context that may be helpful for you. This could range from advice and feedback on how to optimally perform your changes or reasons for not doing it.
The main
branch corresponds to the most recent stable version of the project. The dev
branch
contains changes that are staged to be merged into main
as the team sees fit.
When contributing to the project, please make sure that your Pull Request (PR) does the following:
- Is up-to-date with and targets the
dev
branch - Contains a detailed description of the changes performed
- Has corresponding changes to documentation, unit tests and sample environments (if applicable)
- Contains a summary of the tests performed to validate your changes
- Links to issue numbers that the PR resolves (if any)
All Python code should follow the PEP 8 style guidelines.
All C# code should follow the Microsoft C# Coding Conventions. Additionally, the Unity Coding package can be used to format, encode, and lint your code according to the standard Unity development conventions. Be aware that these Unity conventions will supersede the Microsoft C# Coding Conventions where applicable.
Please note that even if the code you are changing does not adhere to these guidelines, we expect your submissions to follow these conventions.
When you open a pull request, you will be asked to acknowledge our Contributor License Agreement. We allow both individual contributions and contributions made on behalf of companies. We use an open source tool called CLA assistant. If you have any questions on our CLA, please submit an issue or email us at unity-robotics@unity3d.com.
Once you have a change ready following the above ground rules, simply make a pull request in GitHub.
