Contributing Guide
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Hello, and thank you so much for taking your time to contribute in any way to
|
||||
htop! There are many ways to contribute, and I'll try to list them below. The
|
||||
support from the free software community has been amazing over the years and
|
||||
it is the number one thing that keeps me going, maintaining and improving
|
||||
something that started as a tiny pet project back in 2004 and that nowadays is
|
||||
a piece of software used all over the world, in both reality [and
|
||||
fiction!](http://hisham.hm/htop/index.php?page=sightings). Cheers!
|

Bug Reports
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Bug reports should be posted in the [Github issue
|
||||
tracker](http://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues). (I reply to them all, but I
|
||||
usually do it in batches! :) ) Bug reports are extremely important since it's
|
||||
impossible for me to test htop in every possible system, distribution and
|
||||
scenario. Your feedback is what keeps the tool stable and always improving!
|
||||
Thank you!
|
||||
|
||||
Pull Requests
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Code contributions are most welcome! Just [fork the
|
||||
repo](http://github.com/hishamhm/htop) and send a [pull
|
||||
request](https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/pulls). Help is especially
|
||||
appreciated for support of platforms other than Linux. If proposing new
|
||||
features, please be mindful that htop is a system tool that needs to keep a
|
||||
small footprint and perform well on systems under stress -- so unfortunately I
|
||||
can't accept every new feature proposed, as I need to keep the tool slim and
|
||||
maintainable. Great ideas backed by a PR are always carefully considered for
|
||||
inclusion, though! Also, PRs containing bug fixes and portability tweaks are a
|
||||
no-brainer, please send those in!
|
||||
|
||||
Feature Requests
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Back when htop was hosted in SourceForge, there used to be separate Bug
|
||||
Tracker and Feature Request pages. These go all lumped together under "Issues"
|
||||
in Github, which is a bit confusing. For this reason, I close Feature Requests
|
||||
and file them with the [`feature
|
||||
request`](https://github.com/hishamhm/htop/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22feature+request%22+)
|
||||
label, where they remain accessible, but not mixed with actual bug reports.
|
||||
This doesn't mean I'm dismissing or ignoring feature requests right away! It's
|
||||
just an organizational issue (with Github, really!).
|
||||
