#Pull Request Guidelines

• All pull requests should be a single commit, so that the changes can be observed and evaluated together. Here's the best way to make that happen:

  • Pull from this repo's 'master' branch to your local repo. All pull requests must be against the 'master' branch.
  • Create a local branch for making your changes:
    • git checkout master
    • git checkout -b mychangebranch
  • Do all your testing, fixing, etc., in that branch. Make as many commits as you need as you work.
  • When you've completed your changes, and and made sure that everything's working great, merge it back into working using the '--squash' option so that it appears as a single commit.
    • git checkout master
    • git merge --squash mychangebranch
    • git commit -am "Added super powers"
    • git push origin master
  • Now you have your changes in a single commit against your 'master' branch on GitHub, and can create the pull request.

• Posts submitted should be in Markdown with the following format:

  • File must be placed in: content/posts/
  • File must have a filename similar to: 2016_01_01-my-first-post.md
  • The post must include: its metadata, its summary, and a fold defined by the line <!--more-->, as such:

    +++
    date = "2016-01-01T00:00:00-08:00"
    tags = ["Development", "golang"]
    title = "My First Post"
    slug = "my-first-post"
    authors = "John Smith"
    +++
    
    This is my summary
    
    <!--more-->
    
    Hello World.
