Guidelines for SMOKE code submissions

[cseppan]

Code updates should be submitted as pull requests to the SMOKE GitHub repository

Follow GitHub's best practices for pull requests: https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/getting-started/best-practices-for-pull-requests

• Ideally, each pull request should be small, focused, and fulfill a single purpose
• Review, build, and test your own pull request before submitting it
• Include a clear title and meaningful description for your pull request including the purpose of your code updates and an overview of your changes

Confirm that your code merges cleanly into the latest version of SMOKE

Verify that all programs impacted by your code updates compile and run successfully
