Issue ID: 10300 Summary: Add detailed instructions for MRs to "Guidelines for Contributing" page Product: website Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: website Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: smckinney@symas.com Target Milestone: ---
The current page covers submitting patches but doesn't adequately cover creating merge requests. This provides a barrier for new developers.
In addition to clarifying when a change should be submitted with a patch or merge request, it could provide a set of steps including creating a fork, branch, squash, fixup, naming conventions and other info that would be lost on a new contributor.
