# How to contribute
Bug reports and pull requests from users is what keeps this project working.
## Basics
1. Create an issue and describe your idea
2. [Fork it](https://github.com/skywinder/github-changelog-generator/fork)
3. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
4. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Add some feature'`)
5. Publish the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`)
6. Create a new Pull Request
## Checking your work
You can test your workflow with changelog generator with
[the skywinder/changelog_test repo].
You can run the test suite.
You can run [RuboCop] to check code style.
The default Rake task, runnable using `rake`, calls `rubocop`, then `spec`.
[the skywinder/changelog_test repo]: https://github.com/skywinder/changelog_test/
[RuboCop]: http://rubocop.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
## Write documentation
This project has documentation in a few places:
### Introduction and usage
A friendly `README.md` written for many audiences.
### Examples and advanced usage
The [wiki].
### API documentation
API documentation is written as [YARD] docblocks in the Ruby code.
This is rendered as Web pages on [Rubydoc.info][github-changelog-generator on Rubydoc.info].
The completeness of the API documentation is measured on [our page on the Inch CI Web site][github-changelog-generator on Inch CI]
### man page
`man/git-generate-changelog.md`
The man page is for the `git generate-changelog` Git sub-command, which is a wrapper for `github_changelog_generator`. That file is a Markdown file.
Use the [ronn] gem to generate `.1` and `.html` artifacts like this: `cd man; ronn git-generate-changelog.md`
