DOs and DON'Ts

  • DO follow our coding style
  • DO follow our code commenting policy and guidelines
  • DO give priority to the current style of the project or file you're changing even if it diverges from the general guidelines.
  • DO include tests when adding new features. When fixing bugs, start with adding a test that highlights how the current behavior is broken.
  • DO keep the discussions focused. When a new or related topic comes up it's often better to create new issue than to side track the discussion.

  • DO blog and tweet (or whatever) about your contributions, frequently!

  • DON'T surprise us with big pull requests. Instead, file an issue and start a discussion so we can agree on a direction before you invest a large amount of time.

  • DON'T commit code that you didn't write. If you find code that you think is a good fit to add to .NET Core, file an issue and start a discussion before proceeding.
  • DON'T submit PRs that alter licensing related files or headers. If you believe there's a problem with them, file an issue and we'll be happy to discuss it.
