## Best Practices for Issues and Contributions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before opening an issue or submitting a contribution, please:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Search existing resources (GitHub issues, wiki, Matrix channel history).
|
||
|
|
2. Review the documentation at https://osresearch.net.
|
||
|
|
3. Choose the appropriate channel for your contribution or question.
|

|
### When Starting a Discussion on Matrix
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Clearly state your topic or question.
|
||
|
|
- Provide context, including your environment (OS, hardware, etc.) if relevant.
|
||
|
|
- Be patient and respectful while waiting for responses.
|
||
|
|
- Structure your topic effectively with a clear title and organized content.
|
||
|
|
- Use code blocks for command outputs or error messages.
|
||
|
|
- Consider breaking complex topics into smaller, manageable questions.
|
||
|
|
- Tag your topic with relevant keywords.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### When Opening an Issue on GitHub
|
||
|
|
- Search globally on linuxboot organization for related keywords first.
|
||
|
|
- EG: yubikey search in issues: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Alinuxboot+yubikey&type=issues
|
||
|
|
- Choose a clear and descriptive title.
|
||
|
|
- Clearly describe the problem or suggestion:
|
||
|
|
- Summarize the issue or feature request.
|
||
|
|
- Explain current behavior and expected behavior.
|
||
|
|
- For bugs, provide steps to reproduce.
|
||
|
|
- For feature requests, explain use case and benefits.
|
||
|
|
- Mention your environment details.
|
||
|
|
- If you have a proposed solution, describe it briefly.
|
||
|
|
- Check for related issues or pull requests and link them.
|
||
|
|
- Format your issue for readability using Markdown.
|
||
|
|
- Here is a nice advanced online editor alternative to GitHub: https://stackedit.io/app#
|
||
|
|
- Be responsive to follow-up questions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### For Pull Requests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
