5 years ago @jslvtr Hi. Thank you for your offer to contribute. I could definitely use the help...
-
How does this repo relate to the GNOME/meld one? This project is based on GNOME/meld. It's the upstream. I pull and sync frequently and fix any OSX related issue then build a DMG file. The OSX folder contains everything needed to build a DMG. There are various other patches throughout the code.
-
Should we contribute to GNOME/meld, or here? I appreciate the website has some information but it's not fully clear. If the answer is that it depends on what the contribution is, could we make this explicit? It depends: OSX specific goes here. General functionality goes to GNOME
-
How often do we sync from GNOME/meld, and how to we contribute back to them? Depends on how busy I am. I made a couple of relevant pull requests that got merged, but then there's a lot of code that needs cleanup that I didn't create PRs for. I was planning a release two weeks ago, but then I had a tragic family event. My own brother was murdered in the NZ terrorist attack and I haven't still recovered from the pain of losing him.
-
What things are expected in a PR in terms of documentation, tests, any particular styleguide, etc. To this repo: Just be as clean as possible, follow the same code style used by the upstream project.

Hey, I'd like to contribute to Meld (I'm using OS X), but not sure about a few things:
Could I get some pointers about this before I start working on some of the issues?
Thanks!
