# Contribution guidelines
Strawberry is an free and open-source project, it is possible and encouraged to participate in the development.
You can also participate by answering questions, reporting bugs or helping with documentation.
## Submitting a pull request
You should start by creating a fork of the Strawberry repository using the GitHub
fork button, after that you can clone the repository from your fork.
Replace "username" with your own.
### Clone the repository
git clone git@github.com:username/strawberry.git
cd strawberry
### Setup the remote
git remote add upstream git@github.com:strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry.git
### Create a new branch
This creates a new branch from the master branch that you use for specific
changes.
git checkout -b your-branch
### Stage changes
Once you've finished working on a specific change, stage the changes for
a specific commit.
Always keep your commits relevant to the pull request, and each commit as
small as possible.
git add -p
### Commit changes
git commit
### Commit messages
The first line should start with "Class:", which referer to the class
that is changed. Don't use a trailing period after the first line.
If this change affects more than one class, omit the class and write a
more general message.
You only need to include a main description (body) for larger changes
where the one line is not enough to describe everything.
The main description starts after two newlines, it is normal prose and
should use normal punctuation and capital letters where appropriate.
An example of the expected format for git commit messages is as follows:
```
class: Short explanation of the commit
Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, why it's changed,
and what bugs were fixed.
Fixes #1234
```
### Push the changes to GitHub
Once you've finished working on the changes, push the branch
to the Git repository and open a new pull request.
git push origin your-branch
### Update your fork's master branch
git checkout master
git pull --rebase origin master
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git push origin master
### Update your branch

git push origin your-branch --force-with-lease
### Rebase your branch
If you need fix any issues with your commits, you need to rebase your
branch to squash any commits, or to change the commit message.
git checkout your-branch
