# Contributing
Contributions are welcome! Here's how you can help:
- [Contributing code](#code)
- [Reporting issues](#issues)
## Code
For small fixes or incremental improvements simply fork the repo and follow the process below. For larger changes submit an [RFC:](RFC.md)
1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) the repository and [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository/) your fork.
2. Start coding!
- Implement your feature.
- Check your code works as expected.
- Run the code formatter: `clang-format -i $(git ls-files "*.cpp" "*.h")`
3. Commit your changes to a new branch (not `master`, one change per branch) and push it:
- Commit messages should:
- Header line: explain the commit in one line (use the imperative)
- Be descriptive.
- Have a first line with less than *80 characters* and have a second line that is *empty* if you want to add a description.
4. Once you are happy with your changes, submit a pull request.
- Open the pull-request.
- Add a short description explaining briefly what you've done (or if it's a work-in-progress - what you need to do)
## Issues
1. Do a quick search on GitHub to check if the issue has already been reported.
2. [Open an issue](https://github.com//javalsai/lidm/issues/new) and describe the issue you are having - you could include:
- Screenshots
- Ways to reproduce the issue.
- Your lidm version.
- Your platform (e.g. arch linux or Ubuntu 15.04 x64)
After reporting you should aim to answer questions or clarifications as this helps pinpoint the cause of the issue.
