Branching model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When planning a code cotnribution, these is the project branching model:

* new features goes to develop
* bugfixes for releases goes to release/Y.Z.x branches
* master is just a snapshot of the latest stable release and should not be targeted

Write Documentation
===================

djangocms-blog could always use more documentation, whether as part of the
official djangocms-blog docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts,
articles, and such.

Submit Feedback
===============

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/nephila/djangocms-blog/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

* Explain in detail how it would work.
* Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
* Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions
  are welcome :)

Ready to contribute? Here's how to set up `djangocms-blog` for local development.

1. Fork the `djangocms-blog` repo on GitHub.
2. Clone your fork locally::

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/djangocms-blog.git

3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development::

    $ mkvirtualenv djangocms-blog
    $ cd djangocms-blog/
    $ python setup.py develop

4. Create a branch for local development::

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Now you can make your changes locally.

5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the
tests, including testing other Python versions with tox::

    $ tox

<<<<<<< HEAD
To get tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
=======
To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
>>>>>>> release/0.8.x

6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

***********************
Pull Request Guidelines
***********************

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

1. The pull request should include tests.
2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put
   your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the
   feature to the list in README.rst.
3. The pull request should work for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6. Check
   https://travis-ci.org/nephila/djangocms-blog/pull_requests
   and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.
