# 🤝 Contribute
|
|
|
|
### Report a bug
|
|
|
|
To report a bug that isn't a vulnerability, go to the relevant GitHub repository, click on the _Issues_ tab and select _Bug report_.
|
|
|
|
Before reporting a bug, search existing open and closed issues and PRs to see if something has already been reported. If not, then go ahead and create a new bug report, following the structure suggested in the issue template.
|
|
|
|
### Report Vulnerabilities
|
|
|
|
You may be able to earn a bounty for reporting vulnerabilities in sensitive parts of our code. Check our page on [Immunify](https://immunefi.com/bounty/oceanprotocol/) for the latest bug bounties available. You can also responsibly disclose flaws by emailing us at [security@oceanprotocol.com](mailto:security@oceanprotocol.com).
|
|
|
|
### Suggest a new feature
|
|
|
|
Use the _Issues_ section of each repository and select _Feature request_ to suggest and discuss any features you would like to see added.
|
|
|
|
As with bug reports, search existing open and closed issues and PRs to see if something has already been reported.
|
|
|
|
### Fix or improve core software
|
|
|
|
We'd love to have you contribute to any repository within the `oceanprotocol` GitHub organization!
|
|
|
|
Before you start coding right away, please follow those basic guidelines:
|
|
|
|
* If no issue for your case is present, open one first before starting to work on something, so it can be discussed.
|
|
* Make yourself familiar with eventual repository-specific contribution requirements and code style requirements.
|
|
* Because of the weird world of intellectual property, we need you to follow the [legal requirements](legal-reqs.md) for contributing code.
|
|
* Be excellent to each other, as outlined in our [Contributor Code of Conduct](code-of-conduct.md).
|
|
|
|
#### Workflow
|
|
|
|
A typical code contribution in any Ocean Protocol repository would go as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. As an external developer, fork the respective repo and push to your own fork. Ocean core developers push directly on the repo under `oceanprotocol` org.
|
|
2. You should create a new branch for your changes. The naming convention for branches is: `issue-001-short-feature-description`. The issue number `issue-001` needs to reference the GitHub issue that you are trying to fix. The short feature description helps to quickly distinguish your branch among the other branches in play.
|
|
3. To get visibility and Continuous Integration feedback as early as possible, open your Pull Request as a `Draft`.
|
|
4. Give it a meaningful title, and at least link to the respective issue in the Pull Request description, like `Fixes #23`. Describe your changes, mention things for reviewers to look out for, and for UI changes screenshots and videos are helpful.
|
|
5. Once your Pull Request is ready, mark it as `Ready for Review`, in most repositories code owners are automatically notified and asked for review.
|
|
6. Get all CI checks green and address eventual change requests.
|
|
7. If your PR stays open for longer and merge conflicts are detected, merge or rebase your branch against the current `main` branch.
|
|
8. Once a Pull Request is approved, you can merge it.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the release management of each repository, your contribution will be either included in a next release, or is put live automatically.
|
|
|
|
Except for GitHub, you can find most Ocean Protocol core developers in [Discord](https://discord.gg/TnXjkR5) if you have further development questions.
|
|
|
|
### Develop an app or integration on top of Ocean Protocol
|
|
|
|
Create an app with one of Ocean Protocol's interface points:
|
|
|
|
Ocean documentation will help. And... you're here:)
|
|
|
|
### Improve these docs
|
|
|
|
These docs can always be improved. Every content page has an edit link at its end linking you to the content source on GitHub for simple copy editing.
|
|
|
|
If you found a technical bug or have an improvement suggestion, head over to the repo's _Issues_ section:
|
|
|
|
