-************
-Contributing
-************
-
-CodeIgniter is a community driven project and accepts contributions of code
-and documentation from the community. These contributions are made in the form
-of Issues or `Pull Requests <http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/>`_ on
-the `EllisLab CodeIgniter repository
-<https://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter>`_ on GitHub.
-
-Issues are a quick way to point out a bug. If you find a bug or documentation
-error in CodeIgniter then please check a few things first:
-
-- There is not already an open Issue
-- The issue has already been fixed (check the develop branch, or look for
- closed Issues)
-- Is it something really obvious that you fix it yourself?
-
-Reporting issues is helpful but an even better approach is to send a Pull
-Request, which is done by "Forking" the main repository and committing to your
-own copy. This will require you to use the version control system called Git.
-
-**********
-Guidelines
-**********
-
-Before we look into how, here are the guidelines. If your Pull Requests fail
-to pass these guidelines it will be declined and you will need to re-submit
-when you’ve made the changes. This might sound a bit tough, but it is required
-for us to maintain quality of the code-base.
-
-PHP Style
-=========
-
-All code must meet the `Style Guide
-<http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/general/styleguide.html>`_, which is
-essentially the `Allman indent style
-<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style#Allman_style>`_, underscores and
-readable operators. This makes certain that all code is the same format as the
-existing code and means it will be as readable as possible.
-
-Documentation
-=============
-
-If you change anything that requires a change to documentation then you will
-need to add it. New classes, methods, parameters, changing default values, etc
-are all things that will require a change to documentation. The change-log
-must also be updated for every change. Also PHPDoc blocks must be maintained.
-
-Compatibility
-=============
-
-CodeIgniter is compatible with PHP 5.2.4 so all code supplied must stick to
-this requirement. If PHP 5.3 or 5.4 functions or features are used then there
-must be a fallback for PHP 5.2.4.
-
-Branching
-=========
-
-CodeIgniter uses the `Git-Flow
-<http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/>`_ branching model
-which requires all pull requests to be sent to the "develop" branch. This is
-where the next planned version will be developed. The "master" branch will
-always contain the latest stable version and is kept clean so a "hotfix" (e.g:
-an emergency security patch) can be applied to master to create a new version,
-without worrying about other features holding it up. For this reason all
-commits need to be made to "develop" and any sent to "master" will be closed
-automatically. If you have multiple changes to submit, please place all
-changes into their own branch on your fork.
-
-One thing at a time: A pull request should only contain one change. That does
-not mean only one commit, but one change - however many commits it took. The
-reason for this is that if you change X and Y but send a pull request for both
-at the same time, we might really want X but disagree with Y, meaning we
-cannot merge the request. Using the Git-Flow branching model you can create
-new branches for both of these features and send two requests.
-
-Signing
-=======
-You must sign your work, certifying that you either wrote the work or
-otherwise have the right to pass it on to an open source project. git makes
-this trivial as you merely have to use `--signoff` on your commits to your
-CodeIgniter fork.
-
-::
-
- git commit --signoff
-
-or simply::
-
- git commit -s
-
-This will sign your commits with the information setup in your git config, e.g.
-
- Signed-off-by: John Q Public <john.public@example.com>
-
-If you are using Tower there is a "Sign-Off" checkbox in the commit window. You
-could even alias git commit to use the -s flag so you don’t have to think about
-it.
-
-By signing your work in this manner, you certify to a "Developer's Certificate
-or Origin". The current version of this certificate is in the `DCO.txt` file
-in the root of this repository.
-
-
-************
-How-to Guide
-************
-
-There are two ways to make changes, the easy way and the hard way. Either way
-you will need to `create a GitHub account <https://github.com/signup/free>`_.
-
-Easy way GitHub allows in-line editing of files for making simple typo changes
-and quick-fixes. This is not the best way as you are unable to test the code
-works. If you do this you could be introducing syntax errors, etc, but for a
-Git-phobic user this is good for a quick-fix.
-
-Hard way The best way to contribute is to "clone" your fork of CodeIgniter to
-your development area. That sounds like some jargon, but "forking" on GitHub
-means "making a copy of that repo to your account" and "cloning" means
-"copying that code to your environment so you can work on it".
-
-#. Set up Git (Windows, Mac & Linux)
-#. Go to the CodeIgniter repo
-#. Fork it
-#. Clone your CodeIgniter repo: git@github.com:<your-name>/CodeIgniter.git
-#. Checkout the "develop" branch At this point you are ready to start making
- changes.
-#. Fix existing bugs on the Issue tracker after taking a look to see nobody
- else is working on them.
-#. Commit the files
-#. Push your develop branch to your fork
-#. Send a pull request http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/
-
-The Reactor Engineers will now be alerted about the change and at least one of
-the team will respond. If your change fails to meet the guidelines it will be
-bounced, or feedback will be provided to help you improve it.
-
-Once the Reactor Engineer handling your pull request is happy with it they
-will post it to the internal EllisLab discussion area to be double checked by
-the other Engineers and EllisLab developers. If nobody has a problem with the
-change then it will be merged into develop and will be part of the next
-release. Keeping your fork up-to-date
-
-Unlike systems like Subversion, Git can have multiple remotes. A remote is the
-name for a URL of a Git repository. By default your fork will have a remote
-named "origin" which points to your fork, but you can add another remote named
-"codeigniter" which points to git://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter.git. This
-is a read-only remote but you can pull from this develop branch to update your
-own.
-
-If you are using command-line you can do the following:
-
-#. git remote add codeigniter git://github.com/EllisLab/CodeIgniter.git
-#. git pull codeigniter develop
-#. git push origin develop
-
-Now your fork is up to date. This should be done regularly, or before you send
-a pull request at least.
