How to contribute

To contribute to the development of this app, you should follow these steps:

1. Find the issue you want to solve under Issues, and leave a comment indicating you're going to start working on it. In case you want to work on something that does not relate to any existing issue, please make a new Issue about it, so we can have some sort of dialogue on it first.
2. Fork the repository, checkout the dev branch and start working on your issue.
3. Once you think you're ready, make sure to merge the latest code from the upstream repository (dev branch) into your fork (https://hackernoon.com/sync-a-fork-from-upstream-repo-in-github-c2c29c8eca3b)
4. Make a Pull Request into this repository, link the related issue there and add a few comments on what you've made.

For further details and guidance, please reach out to the Junction tech team at dev@hackjunction.com or start a discussion on our github discussions page.

Branch structure / CI

We have the following branch structure for this project:

Branch name	Purpose	CI	Other notes
dev	Represents the latest stage of development for the app. All pull requests are merged here.	Automatically deploys to dev.app.hackjunction.com	This branch can be used to experiment with new features and can contain broken/crashing code.
master	Contains the production code of the app. All changes to master should be introduced in the form of Pull Requests from dev, and have been tested in the development environment.	Automatically deploys to staging.app.hackjunction.com	This branch should only contain production-ready code, which has been sufficiently tested.
