# How to Contribute to `resrm`
Thanks for your interest in contributing to `resrm`! This guide walks you through the process step by step so you can send contributions with confidence.
### For external contributors
1. **Fork the repository** via GitHub: click *Fork* at the top right.
2. **Clone your fork**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/resrm.git
cd resrm
```
3. **Add the upstream repo** so you can sync later:
```bash
git remote add upstream https://github.com/mdaleo404/resrm.git
```
4. **Create a feature branch**:
```bash
git checkout -b feature/my-new-thing
```
5. Make your changes and test them locally.
6. **Push to your fork**:
```bash
git push -u origin feature/my-new-thing
```
7. Open a **Pull Request** targeting the `main` branch of the upstream repo.
### For maintainers
You may create branches directly in the main repository without forking.
## Commit Message Style Commit Message Style
To keep the automated changelog clean, follow this commit style:
**Format:**
```
type: short description
```
**Accepted types:**
* `feat:` new features
* `fix:` bug fixes
* `refactor:` internal improvements
* `perf:` performance changes
* `docs:` documentation updates
* `chore:` maintenance
* `test:` test-only changes
**Examples:**
```
feat: add --dry-run flag
fix: handle unicode paths
refactor: simplify cleanup logic
```
Dont overthink it — the maintainer can adjust commit types during merge if needed.
## What Happens After You Submit a PR?
After reviewing your changes, your PR (hopefully) gets merged. Then:
* **Release Please** automatically creates a **release PR** summarizing changes
* The maintainer merges that release PR
* A GitHub Release is created
* The package is published to PyPI
* Wheels, source tarballs, and checksums are attached to the GitHub Release
No need to bump versions manually (unless needed).
## Code Style
* Follow standard Python formatting
* Add type hints when possible
* Keep functions small and readable
* Stick to clear naming
## Need Help, Found a Bug, Have a Request?
If you're unsure about anything:
* **Open an issue**
* Start a discussion
* Ask questions before writing lots of code
## Thank You
Your contributions — large or small — help make `resrm` better for everyone. Thanks for being part of the project!
