Contributing

    • Ask for help in the community chat room.

    • If you are going to work on an issue, mention so in the issue comments before you start working on the issue.

    • If you are going to work on a new feature, create an issue and discuss with other contributors before you start working on the feature.

    Instructions on how to build from source can be found .

    Before submitting, please make sure the following is done:

    1. Give the PR a descriptive title.

    Examples of good PR title:

    • fix(std/http): Fix race condition in server
    • docs(console): Update docstrings

    Examples of bad PR title:

    • fix #7123
    • update docs
    • fix bugs
    1. Ensure there is a related issue and it is referenced in the PR text.
    2. Ensure there are tests that cover the changes.
    3. Ensure passes.
    4. Ensure ./tools/format.js passes without changing files.

    As an example, see how Deno.rename() was proposed and added in PR #671.
