Guidelines

1. Choose a project you want to work on and ask the coordinators for the same. If the project does not have the required count of active members then you will be permitted to contribute to the project.
2. You can also present your own idea for the technical board to the coordinators and if it gets approved it will be added to the organization.
3. Every project has some tasks that are supposed to be done within the specified deadlines, these deadlines will be decided by the coordinators after discussing with the team working on the project.
4. Every project should have proper documentation and a readme.md file, as many different people will be working on the same project even after the completion of your own version. Going beyond the assigned deadline will result in a warning and a final submission date, not following through the final submission date will result in you being removed as a contributor.
5. Respect and take help from your teammates and seniors who have already worked or are working on your current project.
6. Commits should have meaningful summaries of the changes.
7. Do not commit large changes like a major feature addition in a single commit.
8. Do not push too many commits in a single push, always push commits as soon as possible.
9. Always pull before doing a push, so as to not overwrite any changes made by a teammate.
10. Comments and issues will be given on commits and pushes by the organization managers, you are allowed to discuss them with the manager on the commit or push comments until resolved. These are expected to be incorporated into further revised versions of the changes, ignoring any necessary reviews will not be tolerated.
11. Do not use the main branch for all commits, the main branch should only be used to deploy the project as the current stable release.
12. Every project should have a dev branch from main which will have the most recent changes on the project.
13. Always make a new branch from dev for a version change or major feature update and merge the branch to dev on completion, so as to not hinder the working of other parts of the projects.
14. Use proper naming and file structure conventions as per the tech stacks used.
15. If any backend is not involved, host it on GitHub pages else, we will be providing Heroku dynos in future for the same.
16. Do not take up these projects to the IIITG administration on your own accord. This can only be done by the Technical Board Secretary. Any actions taken by the college for individual misbehavior will not be handled by us.
17. Only the Technical Board Secretary can create or delete projects, and add or remove members from the organization.
18. Coordinators can only add or remove members to/from projects.
19. The managers of the organization will not be taking part in making any changes to any projects. They are only responsible for maintaining the projects.
20. In case of any dispute Technical Board Secretary has the last say.
21. Long term inactivity will result in you being removed from the organization.
