Contribution guidelines

When you do a pull request, please open it to the dev branch (not master).

Each time you make a changes in the code, please write a note in the CHANGELOG.md file. We follow the format from KeepChangelog.com. So, if it's a change in the dev branch, please write about your changes in ## [Unreleased] section. Then, when the changes are merged to master, the title is changed to the corresponding version number.

If you merge any branch to master, please follow the next steps:

  1. Increase version of the package in the DESCRIPTION file. We use Semantic Versioning guidelines. Briefly:
    • all small fixes increase the 3'rd digit
    • fixes, which change old behavior, i.e. break reproducibility increase 2'nd digit
    • all large changes or changes, which break the user interface increase the 1'st digit
  2. Ensure that CHANGELOG contains information about all changes. Update the upper title from ## [Unreleased] to the corresponding version number.
  3. Tag the version for git release and docker rebuild:
    • git tag -a v1.1.2 -m "v1.1.2"
    • git push origin master --tags
