Reporting Bugs

Be sure you are using the most recent version of e107 prior to reporting an issue. You may report any bugs and make feature requests e107's GitHub Issues page.

Contributing to Development

• Please submit 1 pull request for each GitHub issue you work on.
• Make sure that only the lines you have changed actually show up in a file-comparison (diff). Some text editors alter every line; this should be avoided.
• It is recommended to configure git pull to rebase on the master branch by default to avoid unnecessary merge commits. You can set this up in your copy of the repo's .git/config file like so:

  [branch "master"]
  rebase = true

• See the CONTRIBUTING document for a tutorial on getting started.
