Contributor Checklist
=====================
* Create a ``Trac`` ticket, fill it out and assign it to yourself (contact exarkun if you don't have an account):
``https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/newticket``
* Use the ticket number to name your branch (example):
``3003.contributor-guide``
* Good idea to add tests at the same time you write your code.
* Add a file to the ``/newsfragments`` folder, named with the ticket number and the type of patch (example):
``newsfragments/3651.minor``
* ``towncrier`` recognizes the following types:
``incompat``, ``feature``, ``bugfix``, ``installation``, ``configuration``, ``documentation``, ``removed``, ``other``, ``minor``
* Add one sentence to ``newsfragments/<ticket-number>.<towncrier-type>`` describing the change (example):
``The integration test suite has been updated to use pytest-twisted instead of deprecated pytest APIs.``
* Run the test suite with ``tox``, ``tox -e codechecks`` and ``tox -e typechecks``
* Push your branch to Github with your ticket number in the merge commit message (example):
``Fixes ticket:3003``
This makes the ``Trac`` ticket close when your PR gets approved.
* Request appropriate review - we suggest asking `Tahoe Committers <https://github.com/orgs/tahoe-lafs/teams/tahoe-committers>`__
