Alice Vision relies on a friendly and community-driven effort to create an open source photogrammetry solution. In order to foster a friendly atmosphere where technical collaboration can flourish, we recommend you to read the code of conduct.
The contributing workflow relies on Github Pull Requests.
-
If it is an important change, we recommend you to discuss it on the mailing-list before starting implementation. This ensure that the development is aligned with other developments already started and will be efficiently integrated.
-
Create the corresponding issues.
-
Create a branch and start a PR starting by [WIP], like "[WIP] My new feature" so everyone can follow the development. Explain the implementation in the PR description with links to issues.
-
Implement the new feature(s). Add unit test if needed. One feature per PR is ideal for review, but linked features can be part of the same PR.
-
When it is ready for review, remove "WIP" from the PR name.
-
The reviewers will look over the code and ask for changes, explain problems they found, congratulate the author, etc. using the github comments.
-
After approval, one of the developers with commit approval to the official main repository will merge your fixes into the "develop" branch.
-
If not already the case, your name will be added to the contributors list.
