Guidelines

Please help us follow the best practice to make it easy for the reviewer as well as the contributor. We want to focus on the code quality more than on managing pull request ethics.

• Do not misuse the Discord bot; if any case of spamming with the bot or sharing the token is found, then strict action will be taken.
• Single commit per pull request and name the commit as something meaningful, example: Adding <-your-name-> in students/mentors section
• Reference the issue numbers in the commit message if it resolves an open issue. Follow the PR template strictly.
• You will be able to see and review the responses of the bot in the Opencode discord server.
• Make changes to the pull request if the reviewing maintainer recommends them.
• Pull Requests older than 2 days with no response from the contributor shall be marked closed.
• Do not make PR which is not related to any issues. You can create an issue and solve it once we approve them.
• Avoid duplicate PRs, if need be comment on the older PR with the PR number of the follow-up (new PR) and close the obsolete PR yourself.
• Be polite: Be polite to other community members.
