Contributing

If you want to contribute to a project and make it better, your help is very welcome.

For small, simple changes such as fixing typos you can edit any file directly from GitHub by clicking the Edit button after opening it. For more complicated changes, you will have to manually create a pull request (PR) after forking this repository. See the next section for more information.

If you submit a non-trivial pull request (e.g. not just fixing a typo), you may add your name to the Authors@R field as a contributor (ctb) in the R package DESCRIPTION file if you wish.

Create a personal fork of the project on Github, and clone the fork on your local machine;
Create a new branch to work on;
Implement/fix your feature, comment your code;
Follow the code style of the project, including indentation;
Run tests using devtools: devtools::test();
Write or adapt tests as needed;
Add or change the documentation as needed. Please do not run roxygen2, and do not include changes in .Rd files in your pull request - I will re-roxygenise the documentation myself;
Push your branch to your fork on Github;
From your fork open a pull request in the correct branch.
