CONTRIBUTING.md
## Contributing ##
You can contribute to this repo if you have an issue, found a bug or think there's some functionality required that would add value to the gem. To do so, please check if there's not already an [issue](https://github.com/rootstrap/active_admin_chat/issues) for that, if you find there's not, create a new one with as much detail as possible.
If you want to contribute with code as well, please follow the next steps:
1. Read, understand and agree to our [code of conduct](https://github.com/rootstrap/active_admin_chat/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
2. [Fork the repo](https://help.github.com/articles/about-forks/)
3. Clone the project into your machine:
`$ git clone git@github.com:rootstrap/active_admin_chat.git`
4. Access the repo:
`$ cd active_admin_chat`
5. Create your feature/bugfix branch:
`$ git checkout -b your_new_feature`
or
`$ git checkout -b fix/your_fix` in case of a bug fix
(if your PR is to address an existing issue, it would be good to name the branch after the issue, for example: if you are trying to solve issue 182, then a good idea for the branch name would be `182_your_new_feature`)
6. Write tests for your changes (feature/bug)
7. Code your (feature/bugfix)
8. Run the code analysis tool by doing:
`$ rake code_analysis`
9. Run the tests:
`$ bundle exec rspec`
All tests must pass. If all tests (both code analysis and rspec) do pass, then you are ready to go to the next step:
10. Commit your changes:
`$ git commit -m 'Your feature or bugfix title'`
11. Push to the branch `$ git push origin your_new_feature`
12. Create a new [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/)

Note: You can push as many commits as you want when working on a pull request, we just ask that they are descriptive and tell a story. Try to open a pull request with just one commit but if you think you need to divide what you did into more commits to convey what you are trying to do go for it.
Thank you very much for your time and for considering helping in this project.
